Routes of Persuasion

Routes of Persuasion

Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Schemas

Schemas

A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Summary

Mobile breathalyzer warnings significantly reduced alcohol-impaired driving (AID) by increasing perceived danger and decreasing willingness to drive. This technology offers a promising intervention for preventing impaired driving.

Public Health
Behavioral Science
Mobile Health Technology

Background:

Alcohol-impaired driving (AID) poses significant risks despite awareness.
Prevalence of AID necessitates innovative intervention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of mobile device-delivered, breathalyzer-cued warning messages in reducing AID.
To assess the impact of these warnings on real-world driving cognitions and behaviors.

Main Methods:

120 young adults participated in a 6-week ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study.
Participants used a mobile-linked breathalyzer, providing breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) samples.
Randomized assignment to receive warnings at BrAC ≥ .05 or no warnings.

Main Results:

Warning messages significantly dampened the association between AID engagement and reaching a .05 BrAC.
Participants receiving warnings reported increased perceived danger of driving.
Willingness to drive after drinking was decreased in the warnings group.

Conclusions:

BrAC-cued warnings effectively reduced the probability of AID and willingness to drive impaired.
The intervention increased the perceived danger associated with driving after drinking.
Mobile technology can deliver adaptive, just-in-time interventions to mitigate AID.
