Effects of Repeated Expressions on Attitude Extremity

چکیده
Fazio has shown that repeated attitude expressions increase the accessibility of the attitude. Increases in accessibility in turn lead to greater attitude-behavior consistency. The present work examines the effects of repeated expressions on attitude extremity. In the 1st study, it is shown that repeated expressions increase extremity when the expressions involve only judgments of attitude valence. In the 2nd study, a similar effect of repeated expressions on extremity is shown when the expressions are given orally, unconstrained by any particular response format. The 3rd study examines a possible mechanism for the effect of repeated expressions on extremity that is based on an associative learning model in which the repeated rehearsal of a response to an object leads to more extreme judgments. The relations between attitude extremity and accessibility and their roles in moderating the attitude-behavior relationship are discussed.

The effects of repeated expressions on attitude polarization during group discussions.
Classic explanations of the "group polarization phenomenon" emphasize interpersonal processes such as informational influence and social comparison (Myers & Lamm, 1976). Based on earlier research, we hypothesized that at least part of the polarization observed during group discussion might be due to repeated attitude expression. Two studies provide support for this hypothesis. In Study 1, we ma...

متن کاملComparing the Effects of Lower Extremity Muscle Fatigue on Dynamic Balance of Volleyball Players
Objectives: Lower extremity muscles are important for maintaining dynamic balance and athletic performance. Fatigue of these muscles may affect dynamic balance. It is not clear whether fatigue in a particular muscle group can affect dynamic balance more than fatigue in other groups. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effects of fatigue in five muscle groups on the dynamic bala...
متن کاملSocial vigilantism: measuring individual differences in belief superiority and resistance to persuasion.
Social vigilantism (SV) is an enduring individual difference that assesses the tendency of individuals to impress and propagate their "superior" beliefs onto others to correct others' more "ignorant" opinions. After establishing a reliable measure of SV, three studies showed that SV was associated with greater expressions of belief superiority (whether reacting to others holding dissimilar or s...
