Nonetheless, it is helpful to think of light as being composed of waves, since investigations show that light behaves like water waves. Since it is impossible to visually see what is genuinely...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Work
  • Communication Studies

Background:

  • Child welfare systems face a shortage of foster families, necessitating effective recruitment strategies.
  • Existing foster care recruitment campaigns lack rigorous evaluation of their impact.
  • Understanding message effectiveness is crucial for improving foster parent recruitment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and experimentally evaluate messages aimed at increasing awareness, willingness, and intention to become foster parents.
  • To compare the effectiveness of different message framing strategies in promoting foster care.
  • To explore the role of narrative transportation in mediating message effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 405 adults (aged 25+) in Portugal.
  • Experimental design comparing different message conditions to a baseline.
  • Data collection focused on measuring awareness, willingness, intention, transportation, and perceived effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in awareness, willingness, or intention were found across message conditions.
  • A message emphasizing overcoming separation anxiety showed higher transportation and perceived effectiveness.
  • Narrative transportation mediated the effects of the message on perceived effectiveness, awareness, willingness, and intention.

Conclusions:

  • Standard recruitment messages may not significantly impact key fostering intentions.
  • Messages that engage participants emotionally, particularly regarding separation, may enhance perceived effectiveness.
  • Further research into narrative-based communication strategies is recommended for effective foster care promotion.
