Through the Graphic Lens: The Effects of Graphic Images on News Consumers’ Reactions
Contains fulltext : 325301.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)
Uncivil political discourse in televised election debates in the Netherlands from 1981 to 2023
Picturing Tragedy: A Content Analysis of the Publication of Graphic Images in Newspapers
For decades, the inclusion of graphic photographs in the news has been a matter of controversy. One important criticism made by news audiences is that the publication of graphic imagery could be guided by racial and cultural biases. However, there is little empirical research to either support or disprove this notion. Therefore, this study investigated several factors that could be related to the publication of graphic imagery. Images included in…
What drives selection of online children’s news articles
Individual news consumers’ decisions to select specific news articles online are an important part of the present journalistic landscape, spurring scholars’ interest in ‘selective exposure’ and the factors that influence news selection. In the present study, we investigated predictors of young news consumers’ self-selection of individual news articles. We used a dataset containing information on upwards of 18,000 news articles that were published…
De stilte voor de storm? Een onderzoek naar tolerantie jegens politiek geweld in Nederland
The calm before the storm? Investigating tolerance for political violence in the Netherlands Scholars increasingly worry about an increase in citizens’ tolerance for political violence. The present research aimed to gauge tolerance for political violence in the Netherlands and investigate its predictors. In Study 1, tolerance for political violence was assessed in a representative sample of Dutch citizens (N = 515) in a preregistered survey. Resu…
The Effects of Political Incivility on Political Trust and Political Participation: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental Research
A great deal of experimental research has focused on how political incivility affects ordinary citizens. A common finding is that incivility reduces political trust. Effects on political participation have also been investigated, but seem less consistent across studies. The results of a systematic review and meta-analysis, including a total of 24 manuscripts containing 35 studies, revealed that the estimated effect of political incivility on poli…
The effects of scandalization in political news messages on political trust and message evaluation
Recent decades have seen an increase in the frequency of ‘scandalization’ in political news, a practice in which journalists try to persuade the public that there is a scandal, sometimes by exaggerating the importance of minor mistakes or improprieties. At the moment, little is known about the effects of this practice on news consumers. In this study, we investigated the effects of scandalization on news consumers’ evaluations of the politician i…
On Different Sides: Investigating the Persuasive Effects of Anger Expression in Political News Messages
Anger expression is increasingly prevalent in political news messages. However, the persuasive effects of expressing anger in a political context have received scant attention from researchers. We conducted two experiments to investigate the hypothesis that anger expression is detrimental to persuasion because it runs counter to well‐established social norms for the polite expression of opinions. We created political news messages including a per…
Investigating the impact of a health game on children’s implicit attitudes towards food and virtual snack choice
Investigating the impact of a health game on implicit and explicit attitude towards food and food choice behaviour

The persuasive effect of advergames promoting unhealthy foods among children: A meta-analysis
Multiple studies have examined the effects of advergames promoting unhealthy foods on eating behavior among children. Although the individual results of the existing studies suggest that advergames have a significant influence on (predictors of) eating behavior, a lack of clarity concerning the size of the effect may impede policy actions. Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to examine the strength of the effect of playing advergames that pr…
Snacking now or later? Individual differences in following intentions or habits explained by time perspective
Avoidance orientation moderates the effect of threatening messages
This study investigated the influence of individual differences in people's dispositional avoidance orientation on the persuasive effects of low- and high-threat messages promoting moderate drinking. First, participents ( N = 99) individual differences in avoidance orientation were assessed, after which they were provided with either high- or low-threat messages about the consequences of drinking too much alcohol. The primary outcome measures wer…
Preaching to the choir? The influence of personal relevance on the effects of gain- and loss-framed health-promoting messages
This article examines the moderating influence of personal relevance on the persuasive effects of gain- and loss-framed messages. We assessed current behaviour as a proxy for personal relevance, provided 169 participants with gain- and loss-framed messages advocating skin self-examination (SSE) and assessed intention to engage in SSE as the outcome measure. The results showed that loss-framed information was more persuasive than gain-framed infor…

Self-efficacy as a Potential Moderator of the Effects of Framed Health Messages
This study focuses on self-efficacy as a potential moderator of the effects of gain- and loss-framed health messages. Undergraduate students ( N = 124) received a gain- or loss-framed message about consuming ecological meat. The data revealed that for participants high in self-efficacy, the gain-framed message resulted in consuming more ecological meat than the loss-framed message. Moreover it was found that - within the gain-frame condition - pa…
Distinct pathways to persuasion: The role of affect in message‐framing effects
Health‐promoting messages can be framed in terms of the gains that are associated with healthy behaviour (gain frame) or the losses that are associated with unhealthy behaviour (loss frame). In the present research, we examined the role of positive and negative affect in the persuasive effects of gain‐ and loss‐framed health‐promoting information. Experiment 1 ( N = 98) showed that gain‐framed information resulted in higher levels of information …
The influence of self‐efficacy on the effects of framed health messages
Health promoting messages can be framed in terms of the gains that are associated with healthy behaviour, or the losses that are associated with unhealthy behaviour. In this study, we examined the influence of self‐efficacy to quit smoking on the effects of gain framed and loss framed anti‐smoking messages in a randomized controlled trial among 539 adult smokers. Participants with a high self‐efficacy to quit smoking reported higher levels of mot…
