Question 34 • FL-8500355-Nutrition and Wellness (IS)

During the coronavirus outbreak, which would be the MOST likely way to get teenagers to wear masks to protect themselves?

Answer
A
Get their parents to require it.
B
Explain the science behind it.
C
Show other teens doing it.
D
Record a PSA on tv about it.

Explanation

Teenagers are often strongly influenced by what their peers do. Seeing other teens wear masks makes the behavior seem normal and socially accepted, so showing other teens doing it is likely to be most persuasive. Explaining the science or having parents require masks may help, but peer examples can have a stronger influence on teenagers’ choices.
