Abstract:The study aims to assess whether, and how, provision of information about air quality along inner-city roads influences individuals' intentions to walk further away from traffic-dense roads. In an experiment, German residents (n = 597) were either exposed to a map that showed, or a map that did not show, air pollution levels along two routes. The routes had the same starting and end points but differed with respect to expected traffic density. Furthermore, the availability of green space (i.e., a park environment) and two air pollution information provision elements-traffic light color-coding and explanations about the relationship between air pollution and health-were experimentally manipulated. Both the availability of green space and the provision of air quality information along the two routes increased the intentions to walk along the low (vs. high) traffic density road. Spatial psychological distance mediated the effect of the availability of green space on intentions to walk along the low traffic density road. The mediation effect disappeared when traffic lights were used for informing individuals about air pollution levels. Public policy makers can therefore be recommended to increase availability of green space and raise awareness of air quality conditions along roads via intuitively interpretable schemes.

“…Before any label or warning can communicate its message effectively, its receiver should be aware of it (Stewart & Martin, 1994;Wogalter & Laughery, 1996). Whereas most studies measured participants' recall or recognition of the disclosure as an indicator of their awareness of the disclosure, one study (Boerman, van Reijmersdal, & Neijens, 2015a) measured participants' visual attention through eye tracking to tap into participants' disclosure awareness.…”

PurposeThis chapters provides an overview of what is currently known in the scientific literature about the effects of disclosures of sponsored content on consumers' responses. MethodologyWe provide a qualitative literature review of 21 empirical studies. FindingsAwareness of disclosures is rather low, but when consumers are aware of a disclosure, it successfully activates persuasion knowledge and can increase brand memory. The literature shows inconclusive findings with respect to the effects of disclosures on attention paid to sponsored content, critical processing, brand attitudes, and purchase intentions. In addition, the literature shows that modality of the disclosure has no significant effects, but the content of the disclosure, its timing, its duration, receivers' moods, and their perceptions of the sponsored content or the endorser are important moderators.

“…These simulated gambling games allow players to compete against professionals, offer a wide variety of game play modes, in-game narration similar to that featured on televised poker tournaments, as well as providing in-depth tutorials designed to assist players in "improving" their game. These games increase player familiarity with gambling which may result in problem gambling behaviour given that increased familiarity with activities and products has been shown to reduce the level of hazard perceived, the likelihood of individuals warnings not being read, and can lead to an overconfidence in individual abilities (Wogalter & Laughery, 1996). Furthermore, these games may promote illusions of control, irrational beliefs that individuals have the skill necessary to beat the odds, and that winning is easy and only one game away.…”

Youth are currently growing up in a culture where gambling is legal, accessible and widely supported. Although minors are largely restricted from regulated gambling, the greater incidence of problem gambling amongst youth than adults suggests that the perception of gambling as a harmless entertainment activity is inaccurate. Gambling is widely portrayed in the media often in an inaccurate or exaggerated way that normalizes gambling and may encourage youth to participate. Wagering on sporting events is becoming intrinsically linked with these competitions and gambling-themed toys and games are widely available and targeted at children and adolescents. Gambling is often presented as providing significant social and economic benefits and the increased availability of gambling venues heightens youth's awareness of gambling opportunities. The depiction of gambling in society requires examination with efforts made by key stakeholders to present a balanced portrayal of the odds of winning and risks associated with gambling in an effort to reduce the emergence of gambling-related problem amongst adolescents.
