dc.description.abstractThe study found that story-based information is more effective than factual text at conveying intangible aspects of carpooling and at creating a deeper understanding of issues related to carpooling. The study found that while the participants in a “fact-sheet” group tended to perceive their knowledge about carpooling to be greater than in a “story” group, there was no corresponding difference in their confidence in and comfort with their knowledge. Qualitative analysis indicates that the stories had a greater effect on the organization of knowledge than did the fact-sheets. The stories were also better at communicating the intangible (i.e., personal, social, cultural) aspects of carpooling. In fact, the fact-sheets appeared to have the unintended and undesirable effect of making these intangible aspects less salient.en_US
