Message fatigue is a state in which people believe they have received too many similar messages conveying redundant information and feel a sense of exhaustion and boredom with those messages. A growing body of work suggests message fatigue inhibits persuasion, and a meta-analytic review can help to evaluate the strength and direction of the relationship between message fatigue and persuasive outcomes, explore potential moderators of that relationship, and shed light on productive paths forward. Our results indicated that, on average, increased message fatigue is associated with unintended outcomes such as increased endorsement of message-inconsistent beliefs and reduced intention to enact healthy behaviors ( r = −.25, k = 18, N = 24,236). Substantial heterogeneity was observed and, in general, left unexplained by our coded moderators. We speculate about the drivers of the observed heterogeneity and reflect on paths forward in this area of research.

信息疲劳与意外说服结果相关的荟萃分析证据


消息疲劳是一种状态，在这种状态下，人们认为他们收到了太多传达冗余信息的类似消息，并对这些消息感到疲惫和无聊。越来越多的研究表明，信息疲劳会抑制说服力，而荟萃分析综述可以帮助评估信息疲劳与说服结果之间关系的强度和方向，探索这种关系的潜在调节因素，并阐明富有成效的前进道路。我们的结果表明，平均而言，信息疲劳的增加与意外结果有关，例如对信息不一致信念的认可增加和实施健康行为的意图降低 （r = −.25， k = 18， N = 24,236）。观察到了很大的异质性，并且通常我们的编码主持人没有解释。我们推测观察到的异质性的驱动因素，并反思该研究领域的前进道路。
