    10 : 209-220
    Notes:
    Authors analyze four message formats in risk communications: persuasive, balanced, dialectical, and dialectical with narrative stories. "Preliminary evidence suggests that dialectical messages are successful in increasing respondent critical thinking about risk issues, while not significantly increasing respondent level of concern compared with other message types."
