Carl was described, she said, as "a brilliant child, shy, quiet, introverted, unathletic, troubled by illnesses." Carl's first-grade teacher reportedly said that Carl "lived in his own dream world and did not relate to the group" (Warren Hovland's letter to Jenni of November 4, 1974).

Hovland's dissertation provided the first evidence for a law of generalization, in which the tendency to make a response learned to one stimulus falls off exponentially with the distance separating a test stimulus from the original training stimulus along a sensory continuum, such as the continuum of auditory pitch (Hovland, 1937).

Hovland’s research not only revealed key factors and assumptions behind persuasion, but it also showed how inadequate the overly simplified models of persuasion actually were in changing people’s minds.
Hovland’s research was influenced by the scientific method, and his caution in applying the experimental method to his research has made other researchers more careful in their work.
Hovland and his fellow researchers also found that a one-sided message is most effective with less educated people and two-sided messages are most effective with people of higher education.

 INFOAMÉRICA - Carl I. Hovland
Hovland era consciente, sin embargo, de la naturaleza específica de la investigación acometido en las Fuerzas Armadas, realizada en un espacio muy cerrado (los acuartelamientos), a modo de laboratorio humano, con inducciones artificiales, en un plano de simulaciones, con una audiencia en exceso homogénea (generacional y culturalmente) y unas circunstancias ambientales dramáticas (conflicto bélico).
Las propuestas de Hovland tienen asimismo un alcance funcionalista, ya que, a partir del conocimiento de los efectos derivados de los estímulos comunicativos, se plantea actuar sobre la sociedad, esto es, emplear los medios de comunicación como instrumentos para el cambio de conductas no deseadas por anti-sociales o inconvenientes.
Hovland, a pesar de su temprana muerte, es considerado en Estados Unidos como unos de los cuatro ‘padres’ teóricos de la comunicación, junto con Lasswell, Lazarsfeld y Lewin.

Finally, a marginal association between media use and public perceptions of credibility for newspapers and television was found but not for online news.
Source Credibility Before delving into more pertinent literature on the credibility of various media channels,[1] it is critical that we review the general literature on source credibility because most studies probing channel credibility are anchored in this fundamental theoretical framework.
(1970), for instance, presumed that source credibility was "multidimensional" and that the factors identified by Hovland had no theoretical foundation, nor had they withstood the rigors of empirical testing.
