Meta-Analysis Comparing the Persuasiveness of One-sided and Two-sided Messages

چکیده
A meta-analysis comparing the persuasiveness of one-sided and two-sided messages was conducted. Based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model it was hypothesized that audience favorability would moderate the effectiveness of the messages. However, the Discounting Hypothesis predicted increased persuasiveness for the two-sided message. The analysis Indicated the existence of two types of operationalizations for two-sided messages (refutational and nonrefutational). The results demonstrate that a two-sided message with refutation is more persuasive than a one-sided message while a one-sided message is more persuasive than a two-sided message without refutation. The findings are inconsistent with the ELM but consistent with the Discounting Hypothesis.

متن کاملCognitive Processing of One- and Two-sided Persuasive Messages
Studies regarding message sidedness and persuasion indicate that sidedness effects are moderated by the type of two-sided message employed, but do not indicate why various messages differ in persuasiveness. This research tests two causal models of cognitive processing. Model 1 posits that messages produce general evaluations that prompt the generation of cognitions. Model 2 suggests messages pr...

متن کاملPersuasive Effects of Embodied Conversational Agent Teams
In a persuasive communication, not only the content of the message but also its source, and the type of communication can influence its persuasiveness on the audience. This paper compares the effects on the audience of direct versus indirect communication, one-sided versus two-sided messages, and one agent presenting the message versus a team presenting the message.
متن کاملON THE POWER FUNCTION OF THE LRT AGAINST ONE-SIDED AND TWO-SIDED ALTERNATIVES IN BIVARIATE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
This paper addresses the problem of testing simple hypotheses about the mean of a bivariate normal distribution with identity covariance matrix against restricted alternatives. The LRTs and their power functions for such types of hypotheses are derived. Furthermore, through some elementary calculus, it is shown that the power function of the LRT satisfies certain monotonicity and symmetry p...
