Fear appeals have been shown to have the greatest impact on people's ______,not necessarily their ______.

A) intentions; behavior
B) intentions; outcomes
C) actions; cognitions
D) actions; outcomes

Fear appeals are designed to motivate people to take action by emphasizing the potential negative consequences of not doing so. This can influence people's intentions to act, but there is not necessarily a direct correlation between intentions and actual behavior. In fact, studies have shown that fear appeals are often most effective when they are paired with specific recommendations for action that increase the likelihood that people will follow through with their intentions. Therefore, the impact of fear appeals is most closely linked to people's intentions, rather than their actual behavior or outcomes.
