Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: People typically attribute more responsibility to those individuals who are infected with STDs than other diseases. This study tested how different routes (i.e., sexually transmitted or foodborne) of transmission have an impact on individuals’ general perception on stigma/shame and the attributions of responsibility (controllability, responsibility, and blame), when controlling for symptoms/conditions of the hypothetical virus infection. As predicted, people who were attributed with control over contracting the virus (i.e., sexually transmitted route) were likely to be assigned a greater level of personal responsibility and were more likely to receive blame from others than people who were attributed relatively less control over contracting the virus (i.e., foodborne). The relationship between the attribution of responsibility and communication efficacy was also assessed. The results supported our prediction that there was a significant association between the attribution of responsibility and communication efficacy. Practical applications by evaluating the effectiveness of the actual Merck’s Gardasil advertisement were discussed.
