Pitfall: Fear Based Messages
![Page 46: Successful Activism: Avoiding Common Pitfalls...Avoiding Common Pitfalls Presented to Logan Rotary, 2013 Activism is the rent I pay for living on the planet. -Alice Walker Your Interests?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062402/5fbbadb32f1b06600503a9c2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Fear Backfires!
1. Raising fear leads to
“fear control” (denial or avoidance).
2. Solution: Increase perceived efficacy: 1. An effective response is available.
2. They are capable of doing it.
3. This leads to “danger control”
(increases target behaviors).
3. Keep PE > Fear

Pitfall: Spotlighting Bad Behavior Can Normalize Rather than Change IT
“Creators of the ad seem to have been correct in their decision to show a dismaying instance of someone (the passing motorist) actively littering the environment; but they may have been mistaken in their decision to use an already-littered environment…” -Bob Cialdini, Arizona State
*Solution: Depict desired behavior as normative.

Pitfall: “Attitude Drives Behavior”
•500 people interviewed. •94% acknowledged that people should pick up litter. •2% picked up litter planted by the researcher.

People change most
when change serves THEIR values.

Change Requires More Listening than Talking

Five Steps of CBSM
1. Select good target behaviors.
2. Identify barriers and benefits.
3. Match methods to barriers and benefits.
4. Pilot test and refine methods.
5. Implement, evaluate and report your results.

1. Pick Appropriate Target Behaviors
• Pick behaviors with greatest combined:
– Impact
– Probability
– Penetration
• Do a Target Analysis

2. Identify Barriers and Benefits (of the target behaviors)
• Beware your personal theories.
• Review others’ research.
• Conduct focus groups.
• Conduct surveys.

3. Match Methods (to Barriers & Benefits)
Target behavior: Recycle Plastic Bottles
– Alternative behavior: Trash Them.

Four Options:
1. Decrease barriers to target
1. Clearly identify recyclables.
2. Increase benefits of target
1. Offer cash back for each one recycled.
3. Increase barriers to alternative
1. Refundable tax for each.
4. Decrease benefits of alternative
1. Have kids confront parent noncompliance.

4. Pilot Test!
• Implement on a small scale.
• Discover and remove problems.
• Check cost-effectiveness.
