ATTEMPTS TO PREDICT HOW INDIVIDUALS REACH WHEN CONFRONTED WITH FEAR PRODUCTIN STIMULI

PEOPLE EITHER: - CONTROL THE DANGER- CONTROL THEIR FEAR ABOUT THE THREAT

1ST STEP: PERCEIVED SUSCEPTIBILITY ASSES AND ACT UPON THEIR VULNERABILITY OF THE THREAT

- Low OR High vulnerability- If high = perceive efficacy

Perceive Efficacy RESPONSE EFFICACY: Individual believes there is

a solution to the threat and will act out in means of damage control.

SELF-EFFICACY: Individual believes there is a solution to the threat but also believes that they themselves can successfully carry out the solution.

Using the EPPM to Prevent Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Among Coal Miners

• Focus group with 31 coal miners• If miners saw hearing loss as a threat what would

motivate them to wear hearing protection devices (HPDs)?

• EPPM was used to identify the miners’ attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, and behaviors regarding HPDs.

RESULTS• Miners who perceived hearing loss to be a threat and

believed HPDs are effective are more likely to control danger.

• Miners who were afraid to confront HPDs would not invest time into finding protection.

HUNGER GAMES ANALYSIS

PERCEIVED VULNERABILITY OF THREAT: WILL KATNISS LOSE HER LIFE?- few tributes remain; with one winner allowed Katniss’s chances for surviving are low.- If Katniss loses Peeta, her survival rate will decrease. High level of vulnerability of threat = Perceived efficacy

PERCEIVED EFFICACYRESPONSE EFFICACY: KISSING PEETA

- Katniss can increase her chance for surviving by kissing Peeta.- By kissing Peeta, Katniss;’ likability with the audience will increase. Which can result in a lasting life.

SELF-EFFICACY: IF KATNISS KISSES PETTA IS SHE CAPABLE OF MAKING THE AUDIENCE BELIEVE HER?

- Katniss fully understands the situations and is able to hold back her emotions. This leads us to believe that she is capable of controlling the danger.
