Discrete Emotions in Anti-Smoking Campaigns:
Anti-smoking campaigns that use fear appeals often combine threat and efficacy messaging, but the success of this messaging is still up for debate. The current study utilizes the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) as the basis for a 2 (high threat vs. low threat) x 2 (high efficacy vs. low efficacy) experimental survey study that tested the effects of anti-smoking PSAs on young adults (N = 146) utilizing remote facial expression tracking system in addition to the traditional survey measures.
