Application of the theoretical framework of acceptability in a surgical setting: Theoretical and methodological insights
CONCLUSION: The sufficiency of the TFA could be enhanced for use when assessing interventions with an identifiable risk profile, such as surgery, by the inclusion of an additional construct to capture perceptions of risk and safety. We offer these methodological recommendations to guide researchers and facilitate consistency in the application of the TFA in theory-informed interview studies.PMID:37353989 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12677 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)

How to debunk misinformation? An experimental online study investigating text structures and headline formats
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of backfire effects in debunking misinformation is low. Text structure and headline format are of relatively little importance for the effectiveness of debunking messages.
