Guided by the theory of reasoned action, males and females were found to differ on each of the following constructs: behavior, behavioral beliefs, and normative beliefs. Males and females differed in their sunscreen use, with females adopting a more preventive style of sunscreen use and males a more reactive style. Males and females differed in their salient beliefs that motivated their sunscreen use, many of which were related to traditional American gender roles. In addition, although males and females were aware of both positive and negative sources of normative beliefs regarding sunscreen use, females received more encouragement from their mothers and peers than males. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the design of future interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1090198102239257","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,28]],"date-time":"2003-04-28T06:19:25Z","timestamp":1051510765000},"page":"29-43","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":91,"title":["Gender Differences in Young Adults\u2019 Beliefs About Sunscreen Use"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Lorien","family":"Abroms","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cynthia M.","family":"Jorgensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian G.","family":"Southwell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan C.","family":"Geller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen M.","family":"Emmons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-78771-3_16"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"2.Weinstock MA, Colditz GA, Willet WC, et al: Non-familial cutaneous melanoma incidence in women associated with sun exposure before 20 years of age.
