Lucy Popova's '''The Extended Parallel Process Model: Illuminating the Gaps in Research''<nowiki/>', is an extensive review on the theoretical and empirical applications of the EPPM. <ref name=":0" /> Popova discovered that the strong theoretical foundations has some inconsistencies in a few of its operational definitions. A systematic review of existing literature on EPPMs found that its propositions had no clear empirical support. The outcomes of fear appeals differ slightly from what the EPPM claims. This questions the practical validity of the EPPM.

Criticism also came from Ooms, Jansen, and Hoeks from the University of Groningen, who tested four main propositions of the EPPM. They discovered that threat and intention were unrelated, and that the outcomes of fear appeals differ slightly from what the EPPM claims. This questions the practical validity of the EPPM. <ref>{{Cite journal| vauthors = Ooms J, Jansen C, Hoeks J |date= January 2015 |title=The EPPM put to the test: Evaluating four basic propositions |journal=Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics|language=en|volume=4|issue=2|pages=241–256|doi=10.1075/dujal.4.2.07oom|issn=2211-7245|url= https://research.rug.nl/en/publications/the-eppm-put-to-the-test(13e8a432-2b20-4b0f-b4fd-66baeb1bfe90).html }}</ref>
