    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In this study, we tested the effectiveness of a computer-based\npersuasive dialogue system designed to promote a plant-based\ndiet. The production and consumption of meat and dairy has\nbeen shown to be a major cause of climate change and a\nthreat to public health, bio-diversity, animal rights and human\nrights. A system promoting plant-based diets was developed,\ncomprising conversational, motivational and argumentational\nelements. 280 participants were randomly assigned to one of\nfour conditions, each representing a particular combination of\nmotivational and argumentational modules. Male participants\nshowed higher intention scores in the motivational conditions\ncompared to the argumentation-only or control condition.\nFemale participants scored higher overall, unaffected by\ncondition. These results suggest that men and women are\ndifferentially sensitive to persuasive strategies regarding the\nadoption of a plant-based diet. It seems to be particularly\nworthwhile to use motivational - as opposed to merely\nargumentational - elements in a persuasive conversation",
