Training stimuli were shown rotating in both directions, but a bias to perceive test trials rotating one way or the other might accumulate over time, with test trials influencing future test trials to be seen the same way [25].
Furthermore, the interaction between patients and physicians can influence whether patients perceive test results as a means to change behaviour.
Clinical practice tends to perceive test results as either normal or abnormal, or as normal, uncertain or abnormal, or alternatively to use such results as a severity scale of the patient's prognosis for a given outcome.
Perceived peace of mind, vulnerability to CRC, anticipated disgust, and perceived test efficacy all mediated the effect of group on intention.
Thus, it is possible that their responses to the self-report questionnaire were confounded by their perceived test performance.
According to attribution theory, it seems likely that students reported lower invested effort to justify their lower perceived test performance (Weiner [1986]).
SEM results show that the attitudes of university students towards the English graduation benchmark policy positively impact their perceived test value and their learning motivation.
SEM results show that the attitudes of university students towards the English graduation requirement positively impact their perceived test value and their learning motivation.
Consequently, with the assumptions just stated, we can interpret the profiles in Figure 6 and 7 as relative perceived test albedo in logarithmic units.
Relative to the standard information group (n = 590), the standard information plus narrative leaflet group (n = 631) showed higher perceived vulnerability to CRC, higher perceived test response efficacy, a stronger belief that the screening test would provide peace of mind and less disgust with the test procedure.
The objectives of the current study were to examine oncologists' (a) reasons for (or against) KRAS test adoption; (b) current use of KRAS testing; (c) perceived test benefits and concerns; (d) communication to patients about the test; and (e) understanding of clinical guidelines.
