Abstract
Brief Reports 1. Information and Social Support as Factors in the Out- come of Breastfeeding* ALICE KAHN LADAS Research in educational psychology indicates that the man- ner in which information relates to behavior depends on many factors. Among them are the correctness and usefulness of the information, whether it is in accord with or contrary to what is already believed, the degree of the recipient's prior commitment to a different view, whether the source of infor- mation is one which is liked or trusted, and whether infor- mation is accompanied by specific instructions on how to put it to use. Although information is important in influenc- ing behavior, it cannot be separated from the social context in which it is received. The use to which information is put is intimately related to the opinions of others in the en- vironment which, in turn, affect the attitudes held by the receivers of the message. This study examines the relationship among information, social support, and the outcome of breastfeeding. At present breastfeeding is a lesser-valued method of infant feeding in the United States and is in rapid decline as the preferred method of infant feeding throughout the world.
