ABSTRACT

This study investigates Black and White consumers' preferences for Black versus White people in United States advertising contexts over 66 y, from 1956 until 2022, a time in which the United States has experienced significant ethno-racial diversification. Examining Black and White consumers' reactions to visual advertising over more than half a century offers a unique and dynamic view of interracial preferences. Mass advertising reaches an audience of billions and can shape people's attitudes and behavior, emphasizing the relevance of clarifying the influence of race in advertising, how it has evolved over time, and how it may contribute to mitigating discrimination based on racial perceptions. A meta-analysis of extant experiments into the relationship between the depicted endorser's race (i.e., the model in a visual ad) and the reaction of Black and White viewers pertains to 332 effect sizes from 62 studies reported in 52 scientific papers, comprising 10,186 Black and White participants. Our results are anchored in a conceptual framework, including a comprehensive set of perceiver (viewer), target (endorser), social/societal context, and publication characteristics. Without accounting for temporal dynamics, the results indicate ingroup favoritism, such that White viewers prefer White models and Black viewers prefer Black models. But by controlling for the publication year, it is possible to observe a time-dependent trend: Historically, White consumers preferred endorsers of the same race, but this preference has significantly shifted toward Black endorsers in recent years. In contrast, the level of Black consumers' reactions to endorsers of the same race remains largely unchanged over time.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Patient-centered care and shared decision making (SDM) are generally recognized as the gold standard for medical consultations, especially for preference-sensitive decisions. However, little is known about psychological patient characteristics that influence patient-reported preferences. We set out to explore the role of personality and anxiety for a preference-sensitive decision in bladder cancer patients (choice of urinary diversion, UD) and to determine if anxiety predicts patients' participation preferences. METHODS: We recruited a sample of bladder cancer patients (N = 180, primarily male, retired) who awaited a medical consultation on radical cystectomy and their choice of UD. We asked patients to fill in a set of self-report questionnaires before this consultation, including measures of treatment preference, personality (BFI-10), anxiety (STAI), and participation preference (API and API-Uro), as well as sociodemographic characteristics. RESULTS: Most patients (79%) indicated a clear preference for one of the treatment options (44% continent UD, 34% incontinent UD). Patients who reported more conscientiousness were more likely to prefer more complex methods (continent UD). The majority (62%) preferred to delegate decision making to healthcare professionals. A substantial number of patients reported elevated anxiety (32%), and more anxiety was predictive of higher participation preference, specifically for uro-oncological decisions (ß = 0.207, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide insight into the role of psychological patient characteristics for SDM. Aspects of personality such as conscientiousness influence treatment preferences. Anxiety contributes to patients' motivation to be involved in pertinent decisions. Thus, personality and negative affect should be considered to improve SDM.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Nephrometry scores are designed for standardized reporting of renal tumors and predicting complications. Multiple scores are available, but there is a lack of systematic comparison. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 305 consecutive patients admitted for open partial nephrectomy to 2 urological hospitals were prospectively assessed. Five cases with conversion to radical nephrectomy were excluded from further analysis. RENAL, PADUA, C-index, and NePhRO scores were obtained from preoperative sectional imaging. Additionally, interobserver variance between 2 urologists and a radiologist was analyzed for 50 patients. Linear and ordered logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between scores and surgical parameters. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was employed to assess the predictive value for requirement of ischemia and opening of the collecting system. RESULTS: High interobserver agreement was observed for RENAL (0.92 and 0.80), PADUA (0.81 and 0.85), NePhRO (0.94 and 0.82), and the C-index (0.98 and 0.95). All scores showed a significant association with opening of the collecting system (P < .016), requirement of on-clamp excision (P < .001), and ischemia time (P < .001). Logistic regression identified RENAL, PADUA, and NePhRO score to be an independent predictor for severe complications (P = .016, P = .011, and P = .005). No correlation was found for the C-index (ß = 0.98; P = .779). Predictive effectiveness for opening of the collecting system and for on-clamp excision showed comparable area under the curve values for the 4 scores. CONCLUSION: All scoring systems represent objective and reproducible measurement tools for renal tumor complexity, that correlate well with surgical outcome. RENAL, PADUA, and NePhRO score are comparable and seem to be superior to the more complex C-index system.
