Social mediation of persuasive media in adolescent substance prevention.

Abstract: Social commentary about prevention messages may affect their likelihood of acceptance. To investigate this possibility, student participants (N = 663) viewed three anti-marijuana advertisements, each followed immediately by videotaped discussions involving four adults or four adolescents using either extreme or moderate language in their positive commentaries. The commentaries were expected to affect participants’ perceptions of the extent to which the ads were designed to control their behavior (perceived con… Show more

“…Hofman & Warnick, 2013) studies demonstrate that for instance family dinners are a protective against antisocial behaviour in general. Moreover, media strategies that target parents only in order to promote parental monitoring and family dinners belong to the relatively few evidence-based forms of using media in prevention (Crano et al, 2017;Lac & Crano, 2009;Metzler et al, 2012). Thus, targeting evidencebased risk factors in the prevention of substance use may have contributed to the lower drinking rates among Icelandic youth.…”

“…Early reactance research often relied solely on indicators of freedom threat or boomerang outcomes. Despite the shift toward capturing evidence of the intervening reactance response, some communication research continues to measure only freedom threat and/or outcomes (e.g., Crano, Alvaro, Tan, & Siegel, 2017; Zemack-Rugar, Moore, & Fitzsimons, 2017).…”

“…People can restore lost freedom in one of several ways, including engaging in the restricted behavior (Brehm, 1966), engaging in a different freedom (Wicklund, 1974), or displaying negative cognitions and anger (Dillard & Shen, 2005). Prior studies illustrate these processes in response to messages discouraging smoking (Grandpre, Alvaro, Burgoon, Miller, & Hall, 2003) and drug use (Crano, Alvaro, Tan, & Siegel, 2017), as well as those encouraging organ donation (Reinhart & Anker, 2012). As the goal of many efforts targeting people with heightened depressive symptomatology is to increase help-seeking behavior, the ideal scenario would involve people with heightened depressive symptomatology becoming less psychologically reactant as depressive symptomatology increases-thus making them less likely to respond negatively to help-seeking messages.…”
