Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper reports on the impact of narrative and emotion on processing of breast cancer survivor messages, based on the self-report data of 46 African American women, 40 years of age and older, who have not been diagnosed with breast cancer. The study is part of a larger program of research, The Story Telling Project, which assumes that storytelling is deeply rooted in the culture of African American women. There were significant main effects for narrative on perceived efficacy and information seeking. However, contrary to expectations, non-narrative messages were rated more efficacious and encouraged more information seeking than narrative ones. These data suggest that when breast cancer testimonies are expressed as narratives, several unintended outcomes occur. Consistent with predictions, messages that had mixed emotional content produced the greatest transportation, efficacy, and breast cancer information seeking.
