A series of sun safety messages containing highly intense language and deductive logical style achieved the most immediate compliance by parents, particularly when they intended to improve protection. Inductive messages were more successful when no intentions existed (D. B. Buller, Borland, & Burgoon, 1998; D. B. Buller et al., 2000). Interviewers recontacted 568 parents during the winter following message dissemination and assessed solar protection. A 2 (language intensity) x 2 (logical style) x 3 (behavioral intention) x 2 (person) mixed-model analysis of variance showed that parents receiving high-intensity, deductive messages reported the most improved solar protection and improvement was greatest when parents intended to improve protection. Over the long term, high language intensity may reinforce decisions to take preventive action and does not appear to provoke psychological reactance or resistance to these highly directive messages.
