Cover Story: Strategic communication can motivate target audiences into conservation action. Using online surveys, we compared different visual communication strategies using text, graphics, and photographs for encouraging parrotfish-friendly conservation behaviors to see which one yields greater emotion, interest, and intended action. Two experiments contrasted a scientific poster, a graphical poster using social marketing techniques, a photograph, graphic icons without text, and a blank control. The results revealed how engaging visuals can inspire positive reactions and behavioral intentions. With less text and content to process, the social marketing poster more efficiently inspired desired reactions. Thus, conservation communications can integrate psychology and graphics to efficiently inspire action. View this paper
