Resumo: One of the problems that can affect the value that individuals attribute to the environment is related to the quality and level of information that agents have about the environmental resource. The purpose of this article is to test the hypothesis that persuasive communication affects individuals' perceptions of the environment. To test the hypothesis, we applied randomized questionnaires to students at the Federal University of Pelotas. The results of the random experiment show that groups formed by young, inexperienced and uninformed are more influenced by environmental rhetoric. Furthermore, the results show that individual perception can be intentionally altered by biased information.

O objetivo deste artigo é testar a hipótese de que a comunicação persuasiva afeta as percepções dos indivíduos sobre o meio ambiente. Para testar a hipótese, aplicamos questionários randomizados aos alunos da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. Os resultados do experimento aleatório mostram que grupos formados por jovens, inexperientes e desinformados são mais influenciados por uma retórica ambiental. Além disso, os resultados mostram que a percepção individual pode ser alterada intencionalmente por informações enviesadas.Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul2021-11-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/cepe/article/view/1482110.17058/cepe.vi51.14821Estudos do CEPE; n. 51 (2020); 59-701982-6729reponame:Estudos do CEPEinstname:Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)instacron:UNISCenghttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/cepe/article/view/14821/10068Copyright (c) 2021 Estudos do CEPEinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessUhr, Júlia Gallego ZieroPrimo, Gabriel de OliveiraUhr, Daniel de Abreu Pereira2021-11-11T14:12:56Zoai:ojs.online.unisc.br:article/14821Revistahttp://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/cepePUBhttp://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/cepe/oaianadapper@mx2.unisc.br||ralievi@unisc.br|| carolina_haas@hotmail.com1982-67291413-4128opendoar:2021-11-11T14:12:56Estudos do CEPE - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)false
