Motivated Cognition And Risk Communication: Changes In Health Workers' Attitudes Towards Risk Information



Authors : Berkane Ilyes .

Abstract

this study seeks to investigate how individuals' resources, such as emotions, psychological states, and physical conditions, influence their decision-making and attitudes. Specifically, we focused on Algerian workers in the health sector who receive messages about health risks and analyzed how they cognitively process these messages from a motivated cognition perspective. This analysis aimed to identify the cognitive characteristics of Algerian health sector workers, with the goal of developing effective risk communication strategies for message design and target audience selection. Our study also aimed to understand the motivations of Algerian health sector workers in relation to their attitudes towards risk information. To achieve this, we used a non-probabilistic sampling method, selecting a mixed sample of Algerian health sector workers from various Facebook groups. We employed an electronic survey form tailored to the objectives of the study. findings suggest that Algerian health sector workers employ a combination of cognitively limited rationality and cognitively motivated agent approaches when processing information, depending on the circumstances and level of cognitive elaboration. Keywords: Risk communication, Motivated cognition, Limited resources, cognitive elaboration
