Enhancing the efficacy of instructing and adjusting information: An exploration of interactivity and vividness
Abstract
Instructing and adjusting information is required to protect stakeholders during a crisis. However, it is unwise to assume that people, especially young adults, automatically follow the information once it is provided. Using a 2 (interactivity: low [email] vs. high [mobile app]) × 2 (vividness: low [text‐only] vs. high [infographic]) between‐subject lab experiment, this study found that infographics were effective in improving self‐efficacy, proxy efficacy, and trust in the organization. In addition, an interaction was observed between interactivity and vividness on participants' intention to follow instructing and adjusting information. The findings of this study provide evidence of the advantage of using infographics during a crisis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
