Abstract
Even though the threat exists for developing testicular cancer, most men remain completely unaware of the risk and are not performing the testicular self-examination procedure on a regular basis. The current study attempts to test the effectiveness of educational and instructional materials developed for the purpose of teaching men how to perform the TSE. A central question that arises when such an educational project of this nature is undertaken concerns the nature of the depiction of the TSE in diagrams. After exposure to diagrams varying in their degree of detail, men’s reactions concerning TSE attitudes and intentions were assessed. Results indicate that the “no-diagram” condition was found to produce the most favorable reaction to the messages. Implications for the findings are also discussed.
