  • Summary

  • This article discusses a study by Nick Carcioppolo and colleagues, titled "When is it OK to Joke? Adding Humor to Fear-Based Colonoscopy Screening Messages May Increase Compliance." The study explores the effectiveness of integrating humor with fear appeals in colonoscopy screening messages. Conducted through an online experiment with 186 participants, the research found that humor combined with fear appeals significantly increases screening intentions, especially among those who frequently worry about cancer. The study highlights that while fear alone can heighten perceived threat and efficacy, humor can make the messages more acceptable and encourage compliance among targeted audiences.
