Abstract
Warnings can play an important part in safety through informing people about hazards and encouraging safe behavior. The effectiveness of warnings, however, can be reduced by contrary messages that counteract the safety information. This paper reviews empirical support and challenges for understanding the effects of contrary messages, including messages that are intended to influence risk perception and behavior (anti-warnings) as well as those that do not proceed from such intentions (pacifiers).
