ABSTRACT 

This  study  aims  to  analyze  multiple  predictors  of  information  seeking  behavior, including  information  seeking  intention  about  breast  cancer,  using  the  risk information seeking and processing (RISP) model. Data from 680 female respondents shows  that  when  individuals  perceived  the  risk  of  breast  cancer,  they  felt  more negative emotions, such as anxiety and nervousness, which increased the need for more  information  about  the  risk  and  tendency  to  seek  information.  In  addition, information  subjective  norms  were  positively  related  with  information  seeking intention.  When  individuals  felt  they  lacked  relevant  information,  their  seeking intention increased. Lastly, seeking intention led to breast cancer screening intention.
