Public communication campaigns have become one of the most important tools of strategic communication to achieve social change and to change behaviors. However, despite their recognized potential to contribute to a better world, their effectiveness often remains below expectation. By examining message strategies and their effects on individuals, the present dissertation aims for a more nuanced understanding of persuasion in public communication campaigns. This research is guided by two theoretical perspectives: The first theoretical perspective considers the influence of audience characteristics on the effects of persuasive message strategies (Paper 1 & Paper 2). The second theoretical perspective looks at the role of proximal, of the moment responses in the persuasion process (Paper 3). Paper 1 identifies four basic message approaches used in public communication campaigns and delineates what message approach is most effective for target audiences depending on their stage of readiness to change. Paper 2 focuses on one particular target audience: namely, those people who are usually not inclined to support a public communication campaign. The aim is to find out how to persuade these people through variations in visual and verbal message features. The results of an experimental study indicate that less empathic individuals are more supportive of a prosocial advertising campaign when exposed to sad images and anecdotal evidence. Paper 3 explores the interplay between visual and verbal message features. The goal is to better understand what kind of momentary responses explain the persuasive effects of different image-text combinations. A repeated measures experiment identifies perceived interpretational guidance (that is, as an effort to steer recipients toward one interpretation of the message and away from others) as the key explanatory mechanism. Overall, the findings suggest that recipients are particularly responsive to messages that are matched to their motivational orientation and to simple and clear messages.

The Reasoning Voter is an insider's look at campaigns, candidates, media, and voters that convincingly argues that voters make informed logical choices. Samuel L. Popkin analyzes three primary campaigns—Carter in 1976; Bush and Reagan in 1980; and Hart, Mondale, and Jackson in 1984—to arrive at a new model of the way voters sort through commercials and sound bites to choose a candidate. Drawing on insights from economics and cognitive psychology, he convincingly demonstrates that, as trivial as campaigns often appear, they provide voters with a surprising amount of information on a candidate's views and skills. For all their shortcomings, campaigns do matter. "Professor Popkin has brought V.O. Key's contention that voters are rational into the media age. This book is a useful rebuttal to the cynical view that politics is a wholly contrived business, in which unscrupulous operatives manipulate the emotions of distrustful but gullible citizens. The reality, he shows, is both more complex and more hopeful than that."—David S. Broder, The Washington Post
