Persuasion The process by which a message induces change in beliefs, attitudes or behaviors
Central Route to Persuasion Occurs when interested people focus on the arguments and respond w/ favorable thoughts
Peripheral Route to Persuasion Occurs when people are influenced by incidental cues, such as a speaker’s attractiveness
Credibility Believability. A credible communicator is perceived as both expert and trustworthy
Sleeper Effect A delayed impact of a message that occurs when an initially discounted message becomes effective, such as we remember the message but forget the reason for discounting it
Attractiveness Having qualities that appeal to an audience. An appealing communicator (often someone similar to the audience) is most persuasive on matters of subjective preference
Physical Attractiveness Arguments, especially emotional ones, are often more influential when they come form people we consider beautiful
Similiarity Also Makes for Attractiveness We tend to like people who are like us, also are influenced by them
Primacy Effect Other things being equal, information presented first usually has the most influence
Recency Effect Information presented last sometimes has the most influence. Recency effects are less common than primacy effects
Channel of Communication The way the message is delivered—whether face-to-face, in writing, on film, or in some other way
Two-Step Flow of Communication The process by which media influence often occurs through opinion leaders, who in turn influence others
Need for Cognition The motivation to think and analyze. Assessed by agreement w/ items such as “The notion of thinking abstractly is appealing to me” and disagreement w/ items such as ”I only think as hard as I have to.”
Cults (Also Called New Religious Movement) A group typically characterized by (1) distinctive rituals and beliefs related to its devotion to a god or a person, (2) isolation from the surrounding “evil” culture, and (3) a charismatic leader. (A sect, by contrast, is a spinoff from a major religion.)
Attitude Inoculation Exposing people to weak attacks upon their attitudes so that when stronger attacks come, they will have refutations available

Persuasion: the process by which a message induces change in beliefs, attitudes of behaviors. “The hurdles of the persuasion process” (pg. 226)Persuasion Paths**If a message is clear but unconvincing, then you will easily counter argue the message and won’t be persuaded. If the message offers convincing arguments, then your thoughts will be more favorable and you will most likely be persuaded. This “cognitive response” approach helps us understand why persuasion occurs more in some situations than in others.**Persuasion entails clearing several hurdles. Any factors that help people clear the hurdles in the persuasion process increase the likelihood of persuasion. EX: If an attractive source increases your attention to a message, then the message should have a better chance of persuading you.Central Route: occurs when interested people focus on the arguments and respond with favorable thoughtsWhen people are motivated and able to think about an issue, they are likely to take the central route to persuasion—focusing on the arguments. IF the arguments are strong and compelling, persuasion is likely.Peripheral Route: occurs when people are influenced by incidental cues, such as a speaker’s attractivenessRather than noticing whether the arguments are particularly compelling, we might follow the peripheral route to persuasion—focusing on cues that trigger automatic acceptance without much thinking.
