Replicating Johnston and Warkentin (2010), we demonstrate that social influence and self-efficacy are the main drivers of compliance with fear appeals. Contrary to the original study, we find that the acknowledgment of a severe threat encourages subjects to seize on the proposed recommendation, bolstering perceptions of efficacy. With this sole exception, the original results are fully replicated in a different research context employing a different population.
