Thesis (Ph.D.)--Arizona State University, 2005.

Individuals often perceive themselves as invulnerable to threats to their health and well-being. Perceived unique personal invulnerability is the sense that others are at greater risk for an untoward event than oneself. This investigation sought to pierce the illusion of invulnerability to sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk with two specific persuasion strategies. The first type involved a symbolic experience with the untoward event that directly confronts the illusion to create a more realistic perception of personal risk. Strategies in this category included: (1) a simulated experience with the untoward event (contracting a symbolic STD), and (2) imagining having contracted an STD, and then explaining one's unique vulnerability for the disease. The second type of strategy, affirmation, involved bolstering the message recipient's ego so that they would be more likely to accept realistic risk levels. These disparate social influence strategies were examined to determine which was the most effective in producing changes in vulnerability while under conditions of low or high stigma threat. One week prior to the laboratory appointment, 379 participants (199 female, 179 male) from Arizona State University were administered a pre-test regarding their perceptions of vulnerability to STD risk. At the laboratory, participants were randomly assigned to one of five conditions: (1) information, (2) affirmation, (3) dating game, (4) affirmation plus dating game, and (5) imagination plus explanation. There were ten experimental cells in all that included 5 (conditions) by 2 levels of stigma threat (high, low). An ANOVA using the SPSS GLM procedure was used to assess differences among the conditions on perceived vulnerability. In general, when collapsed across stigma threat, a symbolic brush with an STD (the dating game) produced more realistic risk perception than did either information alone or affirmation. Moreover, this investigation suggests that symbolic experience strategies may be more effective at producing realistic risk perceptions than affirmation under conditions of high stigma threat. This proposal was partially supported by NRSA Training Grant, NIMH, 5T32MH18387 to Arizona State University.
