Application of cognitive principles to the design of direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription medications
Year:
1999
173. Wogalter, M. S., Mills, B. J., Paine, C. S., & Smith-Jackson, T. L. (1999). Application of cognitive principles to the design of direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription medications. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 43, 515-519.
Abstract:
This research sought to determine the formats of direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug advertisements that would facilitate communication of benefit and risk information. Fictitious DTC advertisements were designed to test the effect of integrated (risk/benefit information presented in a single textual unit) versus separated (risk/benefit information presented in separate, distinct textual units). These two formats were orthogonally…

Abstract:
Cultural ergonomics/human factors (CE/HF) is an approach that considers situation- and trait-based variations among cultures. Several trait and environmental factors that vary by culture have been shown to influence risk perception, risk-taking behavior, and compliance as well as other processes and behaviors. When applying a CE/HF approach to safety information research, researchers should pay careful…

Abstract:
This chapter describes the two major process stages of atten- tion. The fit-st involves switching attention to a salient stimulus. The second involves maintaining attention-while information is encoded in memory. This chapter focuses on factors that affect both stages with respect to visual and auditory warnings. Exam- ples are provided and recommendations for future research…

Abstract:
Current office designs frequently arrange several workstations in one open room. While this office design may reduce costs, background speech in this environment may hinder an operator's ability to -do one of the most · coi:nmon office tasks - reading. Background irrelevant speech combined with relevant linguistic processing may contribute to. higher levels of mental…

Abstract:
Recent research has shown that compliance to a posted warning sign is much lowerthan the same warning located within a set of task instructions, even when the sign is highly visible. One possible reason for this rroding is that participants' believe the sign to be less relevant to the task and to themselves than the…

Abstract:
A paradigm was developed to examine the effectiveness of warnings .in a laboratory task. A task was presented to subjects as one examining how people perform a basic chemistry demonstration. Experiment 1 examined the effects of two locations of the warning (before and after Instructions) and two different signal word presentations (WARNING and Note). An…
