seeks to answer questions about target audiences for a program or a campaign, encompassing the collection of background information about audience orientations before initiating a campaign and assessment of the implementation and effectiveness during and after a campaign
Definition
Formative Research
Term
provides data and perspectives to improve messages during the course of creation AND multiple formative evaluation methods are often used. It allows for more sophisticated campaign strategies, helps avoid pitfalls, and improves the quality of the created messages
Definition
Formative Evaluation
Term
Phases of Formative Research
Definition
1. Pre-Production
2. Produtcion testing
Term
Should occur where where data are accumulated on audience characteristics that relate importantly to the medium, the message, and the situation within which the desired behavior will occur.
Definition
Preproduction research
Term
where prototype or pilot messages are tested to obtain audience reactions prior to final production
Definition
Production testing
Term
Formative Research - Based on appropriate research results, need to:
Definition
Conduct a situational analysis
Develop a pragmatic strategic plan
Execute the creation and placement of messages with principles of effective media campaign practices
Term
Formative Research - Conceptually research should think about:
Definition
Source: messenger and the org. who delivers the message (demographics, credibility, and attractiveness are important variables to consider)

Message: content, organization, style, repetition, prominence of placement, scheduling)
Channel: medium of transmission and the specific media vehicle
Receiver: can’t manipulate this variable, but need to be knowledgeable & sensitive
Destination: what impact is the goal; immediate vs. long-term change, prevention vs. cessation, direct vs. two-step flow of influence, and intermediate responses vs. ultimate behavioral outcome
Term
Message receivers go through five stages:
Definition
Exposure: encountering stimulus and paying attention to it

Information Processing: includes comprehension, selective perception of source and appeals, and evaluative reactions

Cognitive Learning: knowledge gain and/or skills acquisition
Yielding: formation or change of affective orientations such as beliefs, attitudes, values, and behavioral intentions

Utilization Stage: receivers retrieve information and are motivated - - thus they engage in the recommended practice and then maintain the behavior
Term
During the pre-production phase we should:
Definition
Try to learn as much as possible about the intended audience and the community before specifying goals and devising strategies. Focus groups and surveys are often conducted at this stage.
Want to identify a target audience – is it the actual “offenders,” parents, policy makers
Specify the target behavior – what behavior(s) or external factor(s) will be the focus; which ones can be most adequately addressed by campaign messages (Think about campaigns that seem useless b/c they really can’t address the variables that might move folks toward a change.)
Elaborate Intermediate Response (figure out what people believe and understand so that you know what to expect)
- Knowledge and Lexicon
- Beliefs and Images
- Attitudes and Values
- Salience Priorities
- Efficacy and skills
Ascertain Channel Use
- Research needs to identify the mass media preferences and interpersonal communication patterns of target audiences, (e.g., frequency, use, attention to, exposure, and interpersonal contact networks)
- Can measure credibility ratings of different media, recall ability, and evaluate reactions to previous campaigns
Preliminary evaluation of message components
- Use focus groups or surveys to assess reactions to potential messengers, channels, styles, themes, evidence types, etc…

(Note: Different data resources exist for audience segmentation purposes. Could be a nice starting point… but would still need to go further…)
Term
Production/Pretesting Phase
Definition
Developing the Concept
- Concepts are partially, roughly formulated message ideas consisting of visual sketches and key phrases for main elements of message
- Start here because you can eliminate weak approaches
Term
During the Production/Pretesting phase you create the test message by:
Definition
Assessing Attention (must have for message processing)
- Measuring Comprehension (must have for message processing)
- Identifying Strong and Weak Points (are main message points getting through? What seems to work – what does not?)
Determining Personal Relevance (message must be perceived to apply to the receiver)
- Gauging Sensitive or Controversial Elements (anything offensive or alienating)
Term
Types of pretesting include
Definition
Focus Groups
Individual In-depth Interviews (used for deep probing, esp. sensitive issues)
Central Location Intercept Interviews (good for large samples of target group)
Brief Surveys (show message and ask questions; Preachy? Confusing? Believable? Profession?)
Self-Administered Questionnaires (inexpensive, but low response rates, and more bias often the case (“really love” and “really hate” folks respond)
Theater Testing (test commercials and PSAs embedded in 30-minute TV format; asked to recall info and exposed again later with follow-up questions)
Day-After Recall (telephoned at home and asked to watch a particular show and then called again for reactions)
Other Approaches
- Readability testing
- Gatekeeper review
- Participatory rapid appraisal (developing countries; semi-structured)

Term
Definition
1.Allows you to understand your audience(s)
2. Allows you to better predict behavior and thus, develop messages that appeal to your audience(s)
3. Consists of gathering, interpretation, and application of demographic, behavioral, psychographic, and geographic information
4. Is based on the assumption that different groups of audience members possess different characteristics that make them more or less likely to pay attention to, process, and be influenced by different messages
5. Are guided by the goal of developing criteria that can be used to form audience clusters that are highly homogenous in their information-seeking needs,desires, and motivations
6. Attempts to find a balance between the fewest messages and channels to disseminate information AND forming audience segments that are as homogenous as possible
7. Recognizes that the greater the reach of a campaign, the greater the number of individuals who can be affected, but increased reach come at the expense of higher-order changes
Term
Traditional Segmentation Based On:
Definition
Demographics: gender, age, occupation, income, education, family situation, cultural characteristics
Psychographics: values, beliefs, key personal characteristics, sources of information, organizations and social networks, how $$$ are spent
Geography: country, state, region, community
Behavioral: actual current behavior, benefits of current behavior, readiness for change, social or medical consequences experiencing already, why they behave as they do
Term
In general audience segment must be:
Definition
1.definable
2.mutually exclusive
3.measurable, accessible
4.pertinent to an organization's mission
5. reachable with communication in an affordable way,and large enough to be substantial and to service economically
Term
To identify audience segments:
Definition
1. Use Qualitative Data
2. Use Quantitative Data
3. Use Theory [SOC, HBM, TRA, TPB, SCT, etc..]
4. Identify known determinants from previous research
5. Identify distinctive patterns of determinants for specific groups
- Will need to identify and prioritize variables to map out possibilities
- Choose segments based on possibilities (challenging b/c many patterns will exist
6. Statistical programs can help us once we have identified determinants (i.e. Cluster Analysis, etc.)

Fear is:
Definition
powerful drive and a negative stimulus
Term
Fear motivates response if
Definition
If the outcome of the response reduces/eliminates fear, reinforces response - If response does not generate the desired outcome (eliminate fear), the next time the same negative stimulus is presented, the individual denies the threat, reacts with anger, or avoids any possible exposure to the stimulus that created the fear
Term
1970s
Definition
*Focus on HRAs (Health Risk Appraisals)
*Ignored the reality that risk information alone seldom changes behaviors
*Ignored procedural knowledge information;overemphasized factual information
Term
Focuses on the cognitive responses to health risk messages
*Statements about probability of a threat = perceptions of susceptibility/vulnerability
*Statements about magnitude of a threat = perceptions of severity
*Descriptions of recommended response = perceptions of response efficacy
Definition
Protection Motivation Theory
Term
Learning models are too reactive individuals think in response to messages as well as feel
*Fear control process: Emotional processes=fear arousal and fear reduction
*Danger control process: Cognitive process=formulation of thoughts about threats/dangers and strategic responses
Definition
The Parallel Process Model
Term
Customizing a message to an individual—e.g., what threats (perceived versus actual) are most likely to motivate that person; what barriers to performance of an action exist
Definition
Tailored communication
Term
Designing a message to a segment of the general population based on common characteristics (i.e have the same beliefs about a threat, identify the same barriers to action)
Definition
Targeted communication
Term
Include the name and/or other identifiers in the body of a message (the message may otherwise be tailored, targeted, or even a generic message)
Definition
PErsonalized communication
Term
Use of personal pronouns, lack of qualifiers, present tense temporal indicators to create psychological involvement with the message
Definition
Immediate Language in communication
Term
one’s vulnerability to a threat
Definition
susceptibility to threat
Term
degree to which one feels at risk for actually experiencing the threat
Definition

Verbally intense language: use of adverbs and adjectives to heighten the severity of outcomes and an individual’s susceptibility to them
Term
Extended parallel process model: source factors
Definition
Source credibility: positively related to retention and acceptance of message when source is explicitly named
Similarity: Increases compliance but mixed impact on perceptions of persuasiveness
Term
Extended Parallel process model: message factors
Definition
Argument quality: evidence (cognition) versus narrative (emotions/affect)
Message sidedness: one versus two-sided
Vividness: concrete imagery-provoking
Message framing: loss versus gain
Imminent versus distant/remote threat
Term
What leads to danger control:
Definition
1.cognitive appraisals
*Threat appraisal: what is the threat, am I at risk, am I susceptible, is the threat severe?
*Efficacy appraisal: is the response effective, can I perform it?
2. High perceived efficacy conditions when perceived threat is high: DANGER CONTROL:
*Efficacy must exceed threat perceptions to control fear
*Must believe recommended
response is effective and I can perform it
Term
The extended parallel process model
Individual differences
Definition
impact perceptions of threat and efficacy
Term
Elaboration Likelihood Model
Motivation to process message:
No
Yes
Definition
Motivation to Process message 1.No - Peripheral cue such as source attractiveness or credibility may still motivate processing and attitude change - Absence of cue leads to retention of present attitude
2.Yes - Have ability to process, then think about message and present attitudes to assessfit - Lack ability to process, then rely again on peripheral cue presence/ absence to predict outcome
Term
The Health Belief Model
Definition
Perceived barriers to performance of recommended response: strongest predictor of action/inaction
Perceived benefits of performing the recommended response
Perceived susceptibility to a health threat: 2nd strongest predictor of action/inaction
Term
The Health Belief Model - Cues to action
