Acerca de la investigación
Young adults with cancer experience more loneliness than their non-cancer peers or older cancer survivors. Positive psychology interventions have promise to increase social connectedness; however, evidence-based interventions should be tailored for young adults with cancer and designed for social media. The investigators conducted an online experiment with young adults with cancer (ages 22-39) to examine the most promising message types with personal stories to identify a suite of intervention messages that encourage positive, in-person social interactions with strangers and acquaintances (i.e., weak ties).
Leer la descripción completa
This is a between-person online experiment where connected peer advocate and clinician framing and cancer-specific personal stories were used for intervention messages compared to control messages. Participants were randomized (Qualtrics built-in randomizer) evenly to 1 of 4 message panels: intervention panel 1, intervention panel 2, control panel 1, or control panel 2. The investigators hypothesized that intervention messages (vs. control) would lead to greater perceived message effectiveness and intended message reactions.

Cancer Peer and Clinician Messages
Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 intervention panels to view and rate 9 social media posts: 6 from socially connected cancer peer advocates and 3 from clinicians, each with a cancer story and advice to have positive in-person interactions with people they barely know.
Behavioral: Cancer Peer and Clinician Messages
Arm 2: Control - Public Service Announcement Messages
Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 control panels and view and rate 9 public service announcement posts about food safety or password safety.
Behavioral: Public Service Announcement Messages
Cancer Peer and Clinician Messages BEHAVIORAL

Qué evalúan los investigadores
Estas medidas indican qué se estudia. No prueban que un tratamiento funcione.
Medidas principales
Perceived Message Effectiveness for In-Person Interactions (Single-Item Self-Report, 5-Point Scale)
Plazo: Baseline, Up to 1 hour
After viewing each of 9 social media posts, participants answered one item: "How much does this post make you want to interact in person with people you barely know? (This doesn't include online interactions.)" Response options ranged from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much); higher scores indicate greater perceived message effectiveness for in-person interactions. Ratings were compared across experimental conditions and message types.
Medidas secundarias
Positive Affect (Single-Item Self-Report, 5-Point Scale)
Plazo: Baseline, Up to 1 hour
After viewing each of 9 social media posts, participants answered one item: "How good does viewing this post make you feel?" Response options ranged from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much); higher scores indicate greater positive affect. Ratings were compared across experimental conditions and message types.
Perceived Social Presence (single item adapted from Lazard et al., 2020; 5-point agreement scale)
Plazo: Baseline, Up to 1 hour
After viewing each of 9 social media posts, participants answered one item: "When viewing this post, how much do you feel as if someone is talking to you?" Response options ranged from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much); higher scores indicate greater perceived social presence. Ratings were compared across experimental conditions and message types.
Message Relevance (Single Item Adapted From Jensen et al., 2024; 5-Point Scale)
Plazo: Baseline, Up to 1 hour
After viewing each of 9 social media posts, participants answered one item: "How relevant is this post to you?" Response options ranged from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much); higher scores indicate greater perceived relevance. Ratings were compared across experimental conditions and message types.
Perceived Message Effectiveness for Online Interactions (Single-Item Self-Report, 5-Point Scale)
Plazo: Baseline, Up to 1 hour
After viewing each of 9 social media posts, participants answered one item: "How much does this post make you want to interact online with people you barely know? (Online includes on social media.)" Response options ranged from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much); higher scores indicate greater perceived message effectiveness for online interactions. Ratings were compared across experimental conditions and message types.
