摘要

本研究调查了叙述、信息片面性和心理不确定性对促进更新 COVID-19 疫苗接种的影响。一个 2（叙述与非叙述）×2（单面与双面）×2（高不确定性与低不确定性）的主体间在线实验（N = 600）显示，叙述、片面性和不确定性对疫苗接种态度和意向有显著的三方交互效应。具体来说，当被试体验到高不确定性时，单侧叙述比双侧叙述和单侧非叙述信息更有说服力。然而，在低不确定性条件下，不同的信息类型并没有表现出不同的说服效果。此外，三方互动效应还受到情绪反应和反驳的影响。本文讨论了叙事说服的理论意义和竞选信息设计的实际意义。

Crafting Persuasive Stories: How Uncertainty and Sidedness Influence Narrative Efficacy in Promoting Updated COVID-19 Vaccination

This study investigates the impact of narratives, message sidedness, and psychological uncertainty on promoting updated COVID-19 vaccination. A 2 (narrative vs. non-narrative) × 2 (one-sided vs. two-sided) × 2 (high vs. low uncertainty) between-subjects online experiment ( N = 600) revealed significant three-way interaction effects between narratives, sidedness, and uncertainty on vaccination attitudes and intentions. Specifically, when participants were primed to experience high uncertainty, the one-sided narrative was more persuasive than both the two-sided narrative and the one-sided nonnarrative message. Yet, under conditions of low uncertainty, distinct message types did not show differential persuasive effects. Moreover, the three-way interaction effects were mediated by emotional responses and counterarguing. Theoretical implications for narrative persuasion and practical implications for campaign message design are discussed.
