“…It is possible that only problems that are perceived to represent reality are more closely associated with reported compliance in real-world situations. In this case, the hypothetical problem used in our study would not be able to detect the effect that Otterbring et al (2021) did.…”

“…The nonsignificant findings might be attributable to the fact that we did not examine additional factors associated with the relationship between compliance and the framing effect. Otterbring et al (2021) THE FRAMING EFFECT DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC 41 found a significant effect of frame on compliant behavior for participants with high ratings on emotionality and when the problem was about a real as opposed to a hypothetical disease (e.g., coronavirus vs. the original ADP). However, the main effect of the frame on compliance was nonsignificant, and consistent with our findings, the relationship between the frame and compliance is not significant when a hypothetical dilemma, i.e., ADP, is presented.…”

The Asian disease problem has been widely used to demonstrate the framing effect, whereby different wording of the same options leads to predictably different choices. Notably, it is highly evocative of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, we investigated how participants would respond to the problem as part of a large-scale international survey (Nincluded = 88,181) conducted from March to May 2020. As predicted by the appraisal-tendency framework, we found larger risk aversion and a larger framing effect than under typical circumstances. Also consistent with the appraisal-tendency framework, we found that perceived stress and concerns over coronavirus were positively associated with the framing effect, while lower levels of trust in the government’s efforts to handle the pandemic were negatively associated with the framing effect. However, the findings did not support predictions regarding the associations between distress, concerns, and trust, and risk aversion in general. Our findings showed that the framing effect is magnified under conditions of high distress and concern, and mitigated under conditions of high distrust. This work might also provide important practical implications regarding the optimal way of framing public messages involving risk, and the possible cross-national variability of the perception of these messages.

“…Regarding the individualistic behaviour during the pandemic, a study showed that people are less (vs. more) willing to take risks when information is positively (negatively) framed, irrespective of disease type, although they are generally more risk-averse in real pandemics [ 36 ]. Furthermore, people high (vs. low) in emotionality are more willing to comply with preventive health behaviours when information is framed positively (vs. negatively), but only in the case of a real disease.…”

Background From February 2020, both urban and rural Ireland witnessed the rapid proliferation of the COVID-19 disease throughout its counties. During this period, the national COVID-19 responses included stay-at-home directives issued by the state, subject to varying levels of enforcement. Methods In this paper, we present a new method to assess and rank the causes of Ireland COVID-19 deaths as it relates to mobility activities within each county provided by Google while taking into consideration the epidemiological confirmed positive cases reported per county. We used a network structure and rank propagation modelling approach using Personalised PageRank to reveal the importance of each mobility category linked to cases and deaths. Then a novel feature-selection method using relative prominent factors finds important features related to each county's death. Finally, we clustered the counties based on features selected with the network results using a customised network clustering algorithm for the research problem. Findings Our analysis reveals that the most important mobility trend categories that exhibit the strongest association to COVID-19 cases and deaths include retail and recreation and workplaces . This is the first time a network structure and rank propagation modelling approach has been used to link COVID-19 data to mobility patterns. The infection determinants landscape illustrated by the network results aligns soundly with county socio-economic and demographic features. The novel feature selection and clustering method presented clusters useful to policymakers, managers of the health sector, politicians and even sociologists. Finally, each county has a different impact on the national total.

“…The efficacy of a communication campaign to modify citizens’ behavior is expected to be largely influenced by goal framing, that is, how the consequences of engaging in the promoted behavior are framed (Levin et al, 1998). Messages can be framed to stress the benefits of engaging in a particular behavior (i.e., a gain frame) or the consequences of failing to engage in that behavior (i.e., a loss frame; Gallagher & Updegraff, 2012; Otterbring et al, 2021; Rothman & Salovey, 1997). Although research has shown that a gain frame may be more effective in encouraging citizens to engage in behaviors that are not regarded as risky (Rothman & Salovey, 1997), evidence on what type of framing is more persuasive in the context of food-related behavior is still inconclusive (Aldridge, 2006; Rosenblatt et al, 2018; Vidal et al, 2019; Wirtz & Kulpavaropas, 2014).…”

Communication Campaigns to Support the Use of Nutritional Warnings: Different Messages for Different People?

Communication campaigns are expected to contribute to increase the efficacy of nutritional warnings. In this context, the aims of the present work were (a) to evaluate how citizens perceive different types of messages for a communication campaign and (b) to determine if personal characteristics such as gender, age, and educational level, as well socioeconomic and nutritional status, moderate how citizens perceive such campaign messages. A series of graphic pieces were designed for each of the following three types of messages: promotion of informed food choices; raising awareness of the negative health consequences of excessive consumption of sugar, fat, and sodium; and promotion of healthy food choices. An online study was conducted with 774 participants, who were randomly assigned to one of the three types of messages. The participants’ self-reported perception of the graphic pieces was evaluated using 7-point Likert-type scales. After completing the evaluation task, the participants proceeded to a series of choices. This was implemented to evaluate whether exposure to different types of messages affected hypothetical food choices. Results revealed that messages related to the promotion of healthy eating were perceived as the most adequate as part of a communication campaign and had the potential to encourage more healthful hypothetical choices in the experimental task. However, gender, age, and nutritional status moderated the influence of the type of message on the participants’ perception, meaning that different groups perceived different types of messages as the most adequate. The results from the present work stress the need to include different types of messages in a communication campaign to target individuals with different motivations and characteristics.
