Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection, seeks to refine a theory about how self-competence and values play a role in defensive responses to health communications. Although theoretically-driven research has shown that self- affirmation--a process by which individuals reflect on values that are important to them--can improve responses to health and cancer communications, the ``active ingredient'' (or mechanisms underlying effectiveness) of self-affirmations is unknown. Self-affirmation is a potent means of augmenting the effectiveness of threatening health communications. Individuals tend to be defensive against information suggesting their behavior puts them at risk for disease or negative health. Previous evidence suggests that self-affirmation may reduce defensiveness to threatening health information, increasing openness to the message and resulting in increased disease risk perceptions, disease-related worry, intentions to engage in preventive behavior, and actual behavioral change.

Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Self-Affirmation 
Construct Validity (NCI)

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment 
on proposed data collection projects, the National Cancer Institute, 
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish periodic summaries 
of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
    Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies are invited to address one or more of the following points: 
(1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) The quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information 
on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    To Submit Comments and for Further Information: To obtain a copy of 
the data collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, 
or request more information on the proposed project, contact*: Rebecca 
Ferrer, Program Director, Basic Biobehavioral and Psychological 
Sciences Branch, Behavioral Research Program, Division of Cancer

    Proposed Collection: Self-affirmation Construct Validity, 0925-NEW, 
National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This information 
collection, seeks to refine a theory about how self-competence and 
values play a role in defensive responses to health communications. 
Although theoretically-driven research has shown that self-
affirmation--a process by which individuals reflect on values that are 
important to them--can improve responses to health and cancer 
communications, the ``active ingredient'' (or mechanisms underlying 
effectiveness) of self-affirmations is unknown. Self-affirmation is a 
potent means of augmenting the effectiveness of threatening health 
communications. Individuals tend to be defensive against information 
suggesting their behavior puts them at risk for disease or negative 
health. Previous evidence suggests that self-affirmation may reduce 
defensiveness to threatening health information, increasing openness to 
the message and resulting in increased disease risk perceptions, 
disease-related worry, intentions to engage in preventive behavior, and 
actual behavioral change. Understanding the mechanisms that explain 
these robust effects would yield evidence important for dissemination, 
including ways to refine self-affirmation interventions and make them 
more potent, which could change the ways that public health messages 
are constructed. This research can inform NCI scientific priorities and 
investments in self-affirmation research. The results of the 
information collection will be used to further develop and improve 
self-affirmation theory. These findings may allow future researchers to 
develop and test cancer prevention interventions.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 717.
