  • the effectiveness of mass communication to change Public Behavior
    Annual Review of Public Health, 2008
    Co-Authors: Lorien C Abroms, Edward Maibach
    Abstract:

    This article provides an overview of the ways in which mass communication has been used—or can be used—to promote beneficial changes in Behavior among members of populations. We use an ecological perspective to examine the ways in which mass media interventions can be used to influence Public Behavior both directly and indirectly. Mass media interventions that seek to influence people directly—by directly targeting the people burdened by the Public health problem of concern and/or the people who influence them—have a long basis in Public health history, and recent reviews have clarified our expectations about what can be expected from such approaches. Mass media interventions that seek to influence people indirectly—by creating beneficial changes in the places (or environments) in which people live and work—have equal if not greater potential to promote beneficial changes in population health Behaviors, but these are currently less explored options. To have the greatest possible beneficial influence on pu...

To have the greatest possible beneficial influence on Public Behavior with the Public health resources available, we recommend that Public health program planners assess their opportunities to use media to target both people and places in a manner that complements and extends other investments being made in population health enhancement.

  • visitor influence on the Behavior of captive greater rheas rhea americana rheidae aves
    Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 2012
    Co-Authors: Cristiano Schetini De Azevedo, Robert J. Young, Marcia Fontes Figueiredo Lima, Vitor Caetano Alves Da Silva, Marcos Rodrigues
    Abstract:

    Visitors can affect and reduce the welfare of nonhuman animals. The Belo Horizonte Zoo, Brazil, had a group of greater rheas intended for reintroduction to the wild. Because this group received Public visitation, evaluating its effect on the birds' Behavior and welfare was important. The study conducted 60 hr of Behavioral observations: 30 with, and 30 without, visitors in front of the birds' enclosure. The study, conducted April–December 2009, collected data using scan sampling with instantaneous recording of Behavior every minute. The study collected data on Public Behavior, visitor density, and time spent observing the birds. More than 4,000 persons visited the birds' enclosure: 9.86 s average time spent. Public Behaviors most expressed were walking-watching-talking and stopped-watching-talking; visitors or not, greater rheas' most expressed Behaviors (inversed between treatments) were foraging and walking alert; defecating/urinating and other Behaviors differed statistically between treatments. Walkin...

Walking alert was most expressed in the presence of visitors; defecating/urinating and other Behaviors were most expressed in their absence. Greater rheas seemed to habituate to visitors. Birds' Behaviors differed little in visitors' presence or absence.
