Words as Environmental Cues: The Effect of the Word “Loving” on Compliance to a Blood Donation Request
Résumé
In a field setting, students (N = 3600) on different campus locations were solicited to give blood during a special one-day drive. Solicitations were made through face-to-face interactions. The solicitors wore a white T-shirt with different inscriptions: no inscription, Loving = Helping, Donating = Helping. Results showed that, when compared to the no inscription condition, the number of donors increased when the solicitor-confederates wore the T-shirt Loving = Helping whereas no effect was found when the confederates wore the T-shirt Donating = Helping. The activation spreading theory is used to explain these results. The practical application of these results for blood donation drives and other health-related fundraising events is explored.
