Description
Summary:Most studies using the binding communication paradigm aim at obtaining requests whose nature remains essentially pro-social. The objective of this research is to evaluate the importance of the target of the binding communication strategy (self-centred vs. focused on others) and its greater effectiveness compared to persuasive communication with respect to a counter-attitudinal issue — reducing the speed of riders of powered two-wheelers (PTW). One hundred and sixteen two-wheeler drivers are randomly placed in four experimental conditions: binding self-centred communication, binding communication focused on others, persuasive communication, and control condition. Binding self-centred communication allows for a greater increase in the behavioural intent of a problematic request compared to binding communication focused on others or persuasive communication. The research prospects proposed as a conclusion call for a broader reflection on the design and evaluation of prevention campaigns using the paradigm of binding communication. La majorité des études ayant recours au paradigme de la communication engageante vise l’obtention de requêtes dont la nature reste essentiellement pro-sociale. L’objectif de cette recherche vise à évaluer l’importance de la cible d’une stratégie de communication engageante (centrée sur soi vs autrui) et sa plus grande efficacité comparativement à la communication persuasive au regard d’une problématique contre-attitudinale : la réduction de la vitesse des conducteurs de deux-roues motorisés (2RM). Cent seize conducteurs de 2RM sont aléatoirement placés dans quatre conditions expérimentales : communication engageante centrée sur soi, communication engageante centrée sur autrui, communication persuasive, condition contrôle. La communication engageante centrée sur soi permet d’accroître plus fortement l’intention comportementale relative à une requête problématique par rapport à la communication engageante centrée sur autrui ou la communication persuasive. Les perspectives de recherches proposées en guise de conclusion appellent une réflexion plus large sur la conception et l’évaluation des campagnes de prévention ayant recours au paradigme de la communication engageante.
