Abstract

ABSTRACT As environmental threats mount around the world, advocacy groups are exploring novel ways to reach the populace and spur them into action. The current study employs an experimental design with a control condition and a group that watched a pro-environmental video to test the risk information seeking and processing (RISP) model. A short environmental advocacy video demonstrated the ability to engage viewers in combatting the problem of single-use plastic overproduction by increasing risk perception, generating negative affect, encouraging information seeking, and fostering pro-environmental civic participation intentions. The present study contributes important theoretical insights to the RISP model and provides meaningful practical applications in the fight to protect our planet.

描述在暴露于反对一次性塑料的环境视频后寻求信息的前因后果

随着全球环境威胁的增加，倡导团体正在探索新的方式来接触大众并激励他们采取行动。本研究采用控制条件和观看亲环境视频的实验设计来测试风险信息寻求和处理(RISP)模型。一个简短的环境宣传视频展示了通过增加风险意识、产生负面影响、鼓励信息寻求和培养亲环境的公民参与意愿，吸引观众参与解决一次性塑料生产过剩问题的能力。本研究为RISP模型提供了重要的理论见解，并在保护地球的斗争中提供了有意义的实际应用。

期刊介绍： Environmental Communication is an international, peer-reviewed forum for multidisciplinary research and analysis assessing the many intersections among communication, media, society, and environmental issues. These include but are not limited to debates over climate change, natural resources, sustainability, conservation, wildlife, ecosystems, water, environmental health, food and agriculture, energy, and emerging technologies. Submissions should contribute to our understanding of scientific controversies, political developments, policy solutions, institutional change, cultural trends, media portrayals, public opinion and participation, and/or professional decisions. Articles often seek to bridge gaps between theory and practice, and are written in a style that is broadly accessible and engaging.
