Summary: How should health authorities communicate in a prolonged health crisis like a pandemic? This study focuses on the race between the Alpha variant and COVID-19 vaccinations in 2021 to examine effective ways to motivate the public. The findings show that a hope-oriented visual communication aid is more effective in motivating public action compared to fear-oriented communication exclusively focused on the threat of the new variant. The importance of hope as a health communication strategy during the pandemic and beyond is emphasized.

Summary: This study assesses the impact of declaring the COVID-19 pandemic on public behavior and psychological responses. The declaration increased worries about the local healthcare system and led to a higher proportion of people taking preventative actions, including actions not recommended by medical professionals. The number of actions taken correlates positively with anxiety and worries.

Summary: Research found that participants exposed to higher threat messages reported experiencing higher levels of fear. Higher levels of fear were associated with more positive thoughts about the message (in alignment with the message advocacy) and fewer negative thoughts about the message (against the message advocacy), both of which influenced message attitudes. Ultimately, message attitudes were associated with increased information seeking and intentions to engage in risk reduction behaviors.

Summary: Educational programs are commonly used to reduce risky driving behaviors, with the success determined by the content and delivery mode. A study compared the impact of fear versus positively framed road safety films, as well as traditional (2D) versus emerging technologies (VR) on young drivers. The study found that positively framed films, especially in VR format, significantly decreased risky driving behaviors, while fear appeal films in VR format failed to reduce risky driving behaviors and even increased them.

Summary: People's risk perception of COVID-19 is a crucial factor in adopting protective behavior, and it varies between countries. However, little attention has been given to differences in risk perceptions between adjacent regions of neighboring countries. This study examined the risk perceptions of university students in the Netherlands and Belgium during the first wave of the pandemic and identified several predictors of perceived threat.

Summary: This study applied the extended parallel process model (EPPM) to investigate the factors affecting people's preventive behaviors against COVID-19. The results showed that self-efficacy had a strong effect on danger control and fear control responses. The effects of perceived susceptibility and perceived severity, which were the main factors in threat appraisal, were relatively small. Additionally, higher perceived severity was associated with higher fatalism in the fear control response. Employment status was found to affect social distancing measures but not personal hygiene behaviors.

Summary: Teachers in over 80% of K-12 public and charter schools in the United States use online crowdfunding platforms to obtain classroom supplies, reaching their goals 75% of the time. Platforms like DonorsChoose provide a framework for teachers to connect with potential donors through appeals outlining their needs. The study examines the role of stylistic aspects of appeals and how framing information on crowdfunding platforms influences donor behavior, finding that longer appeals attract lower donations, but sentiment and sophistication can moderate this effect. Sophistication in appeals has a positive impact on fundraising and donation amounts, while providing project status information positively affects subsequent donations and supports reinforcement models of donor behavior.

Research shows that these appeals are more effective in influencing teenagers' memory, especially advertisements depicting large social groups.

Summary: Experimental results in luxury car brand advertising in China indicate that nationalistic appeals enhance consumers' national identity and social responsibility associations with foreign luxury brands, ultimately improving brand reputation. The impact of nationalistic appeals on foreign luxury brand reputation is more pronounced for brands with a local positioning.

Summary: Public health campaigns have relied on the Health Belief Model (HBM) for the past six decades. However, a meta-analysis in 2010 showed shortcomings in the HBM and suggested a different approach. This study focuses on the interactional processes of the original HBM founders and explores the predictive factors for the intent to take the first COVID-19 booster vaccine.

Summary: This study aims to identify the most effective advertising appeals by synthesizing relevant literature. The results show that positive appeals are more often effective than coactive and negative appeals in multiple contexts. However, the study also highlights the need for improvement in research design and more theory testing and application in advertising studies.
