While widespread and rapid adoption of preventative measures is unlikely to occur without messages that include emotional appeals (Myers, Nisbet, Maibach, & Leiserowitz, 2012) , it is crucial that current public health officials and researchers understand the relationship between emotional engagement and different persuasive messages related to Despite the complexity of the relationship between emotion and behavior, some media outlets have been leveraging fear language in order to motivate people to stay home and socially distance. However, because of the inconsistent relationship between evoked fear and behavioral change in prior research, we were agnostic as to whether stronger valence and arousal reactions to the threat intervention, compared to the prosocial intervention, would result in more willingness to self-isolate regarding COVID-19.	./cache/cord-256542-v8cyfo66.txt	./txt/cord-256542-v8cyfo66.txt
