Choose the correct sequence of communication from the options given below:
Exposure – information – persuasion - behavioural change
Communication that aims at influencing an audience follows a logical hierarchy of effects. First the receiver must come into contact with the message; then the content must register; then attitudes are worked upon; and only finally does conduct alter.
The correct order is Exposure – information – persuasion – behavioural change.
• Exposure: the audience is first reached by or exposed to the message through a medium.
• Information: once exposed, the receiver takes in and understands the content.
• Persuasion: the informed receiver is then convinced and attitudes are shaped.
• Behavioural change: acting on the changed attitude, the receiver finally modifies conduct.
The sequence beginning with information is wrong because one cannot absorb information without first being exposed to the message. Any sequence that places behavioural change at the start reverses the natural flow, since a change in behaviour is the end result, not the trigger. Placing persuasion before information is illogical because a person must first receive and understand the message before being persuaded by it.
Correct answer: Exposure – information – persuasion - behavioural change
