Zusammenfassung

Gesundheitsbezogenes Verhalten kann wohlüberlegt oder impulsiv erfolgen. Manchmal verspüren wir einen inneren Impuls (implizite Kognition), gesundheitsrelevante Reize wie fette oder süße Nahrungsmittel aufzusuchen, obwohl es verbalisierbare Gedanken (explizite Kognition) „besser wissen“ und uns davon abhalten; zumindest dann, wenn wir die Motivation und die Fähigkeit haben, unseren Impulsen zu widerstehen. Bisherige Forschung konzentrierte sich bezüglich Medienwirkungen auf explizite Kognition. Das ist ungünstig, weil es Theorie und Methodik der impliziten Kognition ermöglichen, Wirkungen aufzudecken, die bei der bloßen Verwendung expliziter Kognition unentdeckt bleiben.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Ein weiteres Konstrukt sind implizite Stereotype. Diese werden als mentale Assoziation zwischen einem Konzept und einem non-evaluativen Attribut (z. B. „Ärzte“ + „allwissend“) konzipiert. Implizite Stereotype operieren somit auf einer kognitiven Ebene. Natürlich schließt dies nicht aus, dass die Attribute eine ausgeprägte Valenz haben können. Per definitionem sind implizite Stereotype allerdings auf einer kognitiven Ebene definiert (Amodio und Devine 2006). Ein weiteres Konstrukt ist der implizite Selbstwert, welcher die Assoziation zwischen dem Selbst und einem evaluativen Attribut beschreibt (z. B. „Ich“ + „positiv“). Dieses Konstrukt beschreibt somit die „Einstellung zu sich selbst“ (vgl. Greenwald et al. 2002). In Bezug auf beide Ebenen besteht im Gesundheitsbereich Forschungsbedarf.
