Lab Studies• Low Fear appeals are more effective for segments who are not
currently saving for retirement; High Fear appeals are more effective for those who are…
• Gain Frames are more effective for segments who are depressed; Loss frames are more effective for the optimistic…
• Vivid presentations are more effective for less involved segments; Presentation format is less important for those who are involved…
• Recommendations should appear before consequences for those who are not currently saving to prevent freezing; The reverse format is more effectives for those who are converted…
• Women are more persuaded by consequences to others; Men are more persuaded by self-consequences...
• Women find case presentations more compelling; Men prefer base rate presentations…

Ethnography
• 1. Identify benefits lost due to advocated behaviors.– Loss in identity/status, image in community,
enjoyment/relaxation in the short-term…. due to reduced income/increased saving…
• 2. Connect same benefits to advocated behaviors.– Gain in identity/status, image in community may be
replaced with volunteer work instead of spending…– Proportion of savings could be directed to a
community fund or vacation in the short-term…
