	Media Literacy and Attitude Change
		Attitude changes tend to be temporary and unpredictive of behavior.
		Attitudes changed by the central route "have been found to be relatively accessible, persistent over time, predictive of behavior, and resistant to change until they are challenged by cogent contrary information".
		Attitude change via the peripheral route of persuasion can be highly effective; however, research has shown that such attitude changes are "less accessible, less enduring, and less resistant to subsequent attacking messages" than carefully processed information.

	Attitude (psychology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Attitude is a key concept in social psychology.
		In academic psychology parlance, attitudes are positive or negative views of an "attitude object": a person, behaviour, or event.
		There is also a great deal of new research emerging on "implicit" attitudes, which are essentially attitudes that people are not consciously aware of, but that can be revealed through sophisticated experiments using people's response times to stimuli (how quickly they can make judgements about them).

	Coercive Persuasion and Attitude Change
		The phrase situationally adaptive belief change refers to attitude change that is not stable and is environment dependent.
		Statements supportive of the proffered ideology that indicate adaptive attitude change during the period of the target's involvement in the reform environment and immediately following separation should not be taken as mere playacting in reaction to necessity.
		The change phase allows the individual an opportunity to escape punishing destabilization procedures by demonstrating that he or she has learned the proffered ideology, can demonstrate an ability to interpret reality in its own terms, and is willing to participate in competition with peers to demonstrate zeal, through displays of commitment.

		After the presentation of evidence, the subjects filled out a post-test identical to the pre-test, and a measure of their self-perceived attitude change; the subjects were post-tested again two weeks later.
		The results of this study showed that polarization of attitudes is not a common result of exposure to mixed evidence, although this effect is present for a relatively small number of people.
		Finally, attitude polarization should be considered separately from attitude change from a near-neutral to more moderate position (labeled "articulating a position" by the authors of the study).

		One model conceptualizes attitude change as someone (the source) telling someone else (the audience) something (a message) that alters one or more of the components of an attitude.
		The effectiveness of attitude change depends on the credibility of the source (made up of expertise and prestige), the trustworthiness of the source (has he any personal interest at stake?), and the intention of the source (is he trying to change my mind?)
		Aspects of the message that influence attitude change are (1) whether it presents arguments for both sides of an argument or only for one; whether its conclusion is explicit or implicit; whether it involves an appeal to our emotions; and how different the position it advocates is from our own current position.

	The Moderating Role of Attitude Strength on Affective/Cognitive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		In particular, social psychologists have become interested in whether the affective and cognitive bases of attitudes influence susceptibility to affectively and cognitively based persuasive appeals (Edwards 1990; Edwards and Von Hippel 1995; Messe, Bodenhausen, and Nelsen 1995; Millar 1992; Millar and Millar 1990).
		Their results demonstrated that rational arguments tended to produce greater attitude change when attitudes were classified as affect based rather than cognitive based. In contrast, emotional arguments tended to result in more attitude change when attitudes were classified as affective in nature compared to when they were classified as cognitive.
		I then focus on comparison and the different weight of information in attitude formation to determine which resistance processes are likely to be more effective. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.

	Coercive Persuasion and Attitude Change
		Coercive persuasion and thought reform are alternate names for programs of social influence capable of producing substantial behavior and attitude change through the use of coercive tactics, persuasion, and/or interpersonal and group-based influence manipulations (Schein 1961; Lifton 1961).
		Thought-reform reactions also appear to be related to, but are far more extreme than, responses to the typically less-identity-assaultive and less- totalistic socialization programs carried out by organizations with central commitments to specifiable ideologies, and which undertake the training of social roles (e.g., in military academies and religious-indoctrination settings (Dornbush 1955; Hulme 1956).
