• Reexamining Fear Appeal Models from Cognitive Appraisal Theory and Functional Emotion Theory Perspectives (2016, background): “…theory of motivated information management, Afifi and Weiner (2004) also predicted that anxiety motivates relevant information seeking and found empirical support for their argument in various health contexts, including sexual health (Afifi & Weiner, 2006) and organ donation (Afifi et al., 2006).”
• Avoidance among adolescents in conversations about their parents’ relationship: Applying the Theory of Motivated Information Management (2009, background): “Yet, the lack of predictive utility for coping efficacy comes on the heels of its failure to predict information-seeking in another context where we expected a strong performance – individuals’ search for information about their partner’s sexual health (W. Afifi & Weiner, 2006).”
• Applying the Theory of Motivated Information Management to adult children’s discussions of caregiving with aging parents (2011, background): “As a result, a decision was made to test four separate models, one for each of the types of efficacy (see also, Afifi & Weiner, 2006).”
• Information needs and risk perception as predictors of risk information seeking (2008, background): “Information seeking behaviour is a relatively new area of research in the field of risk communication (see e.g., Griffin, Dunwoody, and Neuwirth 1999; Griffin et al. 2006; Afifi and Weiner 2006).”
