Abstract

This study evaluated an innovative, video-based, group-values affirmation against a traditional affirmation and a control group to demonstrate that the video induction increased group identity, which led to higher-level mental construal of the threat highlighted in risk messages about beef consumption. Consistent with self-affirmation theory, this higher-level mental construal resulted in lower message derogation, higher risk perception, and stronger intention to reduce beef consumption. These findings support the video-based approach to affirming group values.

基于视频的集体价值观肯定可减少对风险信息的防御性反应

本研究评估了一种创新的、基于视频的、以群体价值观为基础的肯定法，与传统的肯定法和对照组进行了对比，结果表明，视频诱导增强了群体认同感，从而使人们对牛肉消费风险信息中强调的威胁有了更高层次的心理理解。与自我肯定理论一致的是，这种更高层次的心理构想导致了更低的信息贬损、更高的风险感知和更强的减少牛肉消费的意愿。这些发现支持以视频为基础的肯定群体价值观的方法。
