Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To compare the influence of appearance, health, and future orientations on tanning attitudes and behaviors.

METHODS:

The study was an online survey of 406 volunteers from a university community.

RESULTS:

Appearance and future orientations were more closely related to ultraviolet radiation exposure and protection than was health orientation.

CONCLUSIONS:

Future research and interventions may benefit from closer attention to associations between specific motivational orientations and behaviors.
