Abstract
Self-affirmation interventions have been used to promote various health behaviors. However, previous research on self-affirmation for indoor tanners has been inconclusive. The current study found that neither a traditional values affirmation nor a trait affirmation were effective for promoting positive attitudes and behavioral intentions regarding tanning and skin cancer.
