ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of the social compliance of publics on nuclear energy policy by combining the 3-way interactive roles of different types of messages, nuclear energy knowledge and the proximity of living around a nuclear facility. For the end, this study used a quantitative approach by using 1,037 participants in a 4 (messages: a negative message of natural scientists, a negative message of social scientists, a positive message of natural scientists, or a positive message of social scientists,) × 2 (nuclear knowledge: high vs. low) × 2 (long vs. short distance of living) experimental design. The results showed that regardless of message types, publics were less likely to accept the nuclear energy policy while they received negative messages while the nuclear knowledge has a main impact on the compliance. And, there was an interactive effect of the messages and proximity on the compliance. The implications of the findings and the directions for further research are discussed.
