Detaljeret beskrivelse
Digital stories -- first person, self-made 2-3-minute videos -- aim to generate awareness about problems, impart knowledge, or promote compassion. Sharing critical life events and related insights are invaluable for tellers and listeners alike, supporting catharsis, healing, reconciliation, and connectiveness. Digital stories are created and shared among organizations or citizens ( "ordinary" people without a background in filmmaking) to promote awareness of particular problems. They impact peoples' knowledge of contemporary issues, shaping attitudes by stimulating empathy, compassion, and active citizenship.
The proposed study explores digital stories/narratives, particularly those focused on mental health recovery, and how stories elicit empathy and compassion by addressing three main questions: (1) How is mental and emotional suffering depicted in video testimonies presented by social marketing/fundraising campaigns, versus the stories of ordinary people told through digital videos? (2) What impact does digital storytelling have for the creators, as ordinary people willing to revisit difficult life moments and transform them into digital videos? (3) What is the impact of video depictions on viewers in terms of empathy and compassion?
This mixed-method study has 3 phases: In Phase 1 (Preparation), a search will be conducted to identify activities related to Canadian social marketing and fundraising campaigns. Digital storytelling workshops will be held simultaneously, and in-depth interviews conducted before and after each workshop. Social service and community organizations located in Montreal, Canada, will be contacted to promote the digital storytelling workshops, to be implemented in the community and on university campuses. In Phase 2, a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be undertaken and more in-depth interviews conducted. Phase 3 will consist of knowledge dissemination activities.
The knowledge acquired through this study on individual and societal responses to stories of human suffering will have a practical impact on future social marketing campaigns promoted by government agencies, fundraising campaigns launched by nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and the public. Results will consolidate previous knowledge while providing new insights into what prompts citizens to help others.

Intervention / Behandling |
---|---|
Eksperimentel: Digital storytelling group (Group 1)
Participants will be randomly assigned to the digital storytelling group (n = 40 participants; 20 Anglophone and 20 Francophone; ages 18-35).
Participants will be asked to watch twenty-six digital storytelling videos which will be assessed using a between-subjects design.
|
Participants (intervention- group 1) will watch digital stories, short videos describing the experience of recovering from mental illness created as part of this project.
Participants in the control group (group 2) will watch social marketing and/or fundraising campaigns on similar topics and complete a few questionnaires.
The following standardized scales will be used: The Level of Familiarity Scale (LOF) (which will be used only before exposure to movies); Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (16 items; internal consistency coefficient .79;
test-retest reliability coefficient .73),
Compassionate Love Scale (21 items; Cronbach's alpha: .95;
item-to-total correlations ranging from .46 to .81),
Dispositional Positive Emotions Scale (DPES) (5 items; Cronbach's alpha for the compassion subscale: .80;
inter-scale correlations: .44),
Self-Stigma of Mental Illness Scale-Short Form (SSMIS-SF) (20 items; Cronbach's alpha: 0.91); Difference and Disdain Scales for Public Stigma (DDSPS) (9 items).
