Investigates chronic message fatigue's effects on behavioral intentions and informational outcomes, highlighting its significance.
= 305). Cross-lagged panel analyses revealed a positive association between exposure and fatigue within Wave 2, whereas exposure at Wave 1 negatively predicted fatigue at Wave 2. Within each wave, fatigue was negatively associated with adaptive behavioral intentions. Information-induced emotions, including hope, anger, and fear, significantly correlated with fatigue. Unexpectedly, information-seeking intent at Wave 1 predicted lower message fatigue at Wave 2. Implications for message fatigue research and effective health communication are discussed.
