The Effectiveness of Message Framing and Temporal Context on College Student Alcohol Use and Problems: A Selective E-Mail Intervention

摘要

Only one study has examined message framing on college drinking, but did so in a laboratory setting among a general sample of college students. The current study was designed to: (a) compare the efficacy of emailed interventions differing by message framing and temporal context on alcohol involvement among heavy drinking college students and (b) examine need for cognition (NFC), consideration of future consequences (CFC) and self-efficacy as putative moderators.
