  • When my group is under attack

    Open Access•Rong Ma, Edward L Fink et al.•ARTICLE•Group Processes & Intergroup…•2023•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 12

    Drawing on Branscombe et al.’s conceptualization of social identity threat, we developed and validated a multidimensional measure of this concept: the Social Identity Threat Scale (SITS). We conducted three studies that examined social identity threat to U.S. Americans (Study 1, N = 468; Study 2, N = 457) and e-cigarette users (Study 3, N = 395) when they read negative messages directed at their social groups. Results provided evidence for the re…

  • How Americans Make Sense of Two Novel Pandemics

    Edward L Fink, Rachel A Smith et al.•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2022

    Using Galileo theory and method of multidimensional scaling (MDS), we compared the psychological distances between concepts related to two pandemic viruses, Zika and COVID-19. Surveys (Zika, N = 410; COVID-19, N = 291) were used to investigate the role of media use and interpersonal communication on the relationship between 10 concepts in multidimensional spaces. We asked these four research questions: Do the two spaces represent the two pandemic…

  • Mathematical models of message discrepancy

    Open Access•Chung, Edward L Fink•ARTICLE•Communication Theory•2022•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 18

    Formal modeling is rare in communication studies. Still, several mathematical models have been proposed regarding the persuasive effects of message discrepancy, the difference between a message’s advocated position and a message recipient’s initial position. With numerical simulations, we analyzed four formal models to identify their strengths and weaknesses. Based on analyses of previous models, we proposed a modified psychological discounting m…

  • Psychological discrepancy in message-induced belief change

    Luling Huang, Edward L Fink et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•2021•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 19

    Message discrepancy is the difference between the position of an advocated belief in a message and the position of a message receiver’s initial belief, and psychological discrepancy is how the message’s discrepancy is perceived by the receiver. The present study tested Fink et al.’s [(1983). Positional discrepancy, psychological discrepancy, and attitude change: Experimental tests of some mathematical models. Communication Monographs, 50(4), 413–…

  • Proattitudinal versus counterattitudinal messages

    Xinyan Zhao, Edward L Fink•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•2020•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 12

    A boomerang effect involves the movement of a message recipient's belief, attitude, or behavior in a direction contrary to the advocated position in the message. There has been limited scholarly attention to the mechanism of belief boomerang. To better understand boomerang effects, we tested the effect of message discrepancy on belief boomerang and the mechanism underlying such an effect with a between-subjects factorial study (N = 458). Our resu…

  • One of the most cited persuasion studies but no success in replication

    Chung, Edward L Fink•ARTICLE•Annals of the International…•2018•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 22

    Scientific progress depends on replication even though replications are generally not recognized for their research contributions. Recently many behavioral sciences have paid a great deal of attention to replications, but replications are infrequent and not generally discussed in communication science. The present study conducts a replication of Petty, Cacioppo, & Goldman, 1981 (PCG) as an example. PCG is one of the best known studies on persuasi…

Connectors (those wanting to …

  • Compliance Dynamics Within a Friendship Network II

    Open Access•Edward L Fink, Andrew C High et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•2015•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 76

    Social networks play a critical role in people's responses to influence attempts, determining whether a person seeks the support of others as an alternative to compliance or as a way to cope with being the target of an influence attempt. In 2 experiments (N = 458 and N = 105), sociograms were used to represent social relationships and to investigate the social network member who would be sought for social support after an influence attempt. Resul…

  • Reactance, Restoration, and Cognitive Structure

  • The Effect of Conflict Goals on Avoidance Strategies

    Open Access•Qi Wang, Edward L Fink et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•2012•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 49

    Avoidance is proposed to be a goal-directed behavior rather than a behavior that reflects passivity or inaction. To evaluate this proposition, a typology of conflict goals and a typology of conflict avoidance strategies are created, and the relationship between nonavoidance strategies and the elements of these 2 typologies are evaluated within a structural equation model (N = 352). Findings show that, except for pretending and withdrawal, conflic…

  • Interattitude Structure and Attitude Dynamics

    Open Access•Leslie D Dinauer, Leslie Dinauer et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•2005•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 30

    Theories of attitude change have failed to identify the architecture of interattitudinal structures and relate it to attitude change. This article examines two models (a hierarchical and a spatial–linkage model) of interattitudinal structure that explicitly posit consequences for attitude change. An experiment (N= 391) was conducted that manipulated type of hierarchy (explicit versus implicit), whether the hierarchy was primed or not, and the loc…

    Open Access•Stan A Kaplowitz, Edward L Fink et al.•ARTICLE•Systems Research and Behavioral…•1983•Citada por: 15•Referencias: 10

    A differential equation model of the attitude change process is proposed which considers an individual's attitude as affected by discrepant messages along a unidimen-sional continuum. The model posits two dynamic components: translation to a new equilibrium due to the impulsive force of the message, and oscillation around the moving equilibrium due, in part, to restoring forces resisting displacement from equilibrium.

  • Positional discrepancy, psychological discrepancy, and attitude change

    Edward L Fink, Stan A Kaplowitz et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•1983•Citada por: 11•Referencias: 18

    Conflicting models of the attitude change process were tested in two experiments. The simple linear balance model predicts that the amount of attitude change induced by a message is proportional to the discrepancy between the respondent's original position and the position advocated. The psychological‐discrepancy‐discounting model assumes that as messages become more psychologically discrepant from one's position, they lose their effectiveness in…

The psychological‐discrepancy‐discounting model assumes that as messages become more psychologically discrepant from one's position, they lose their effectiveness in…

  • Anonymity, Strength of Attitude, and the Influence of Public Opinion Polls

    Open Access•Stan A Kaplowitz, Edward L Fink et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•1983•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 29

    Subjects were given questionnaires asking their responses to six statements on public issues. On some of the issues subjects were highly committed to their own views, while other issues were selected for the subjects' lack of knowledge and commitment. Some subjects were asked to respond anonymously, and others were led to believe that their responses would be made public. Each questionnaire contained a bogus distribution of responses from student…

  • Conflict style differences between individualists and collectivists

    Deborah A Cai, Deborah Cai et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•2002•Citada por: 31•Referencias: 19

    This study investigated the fundamental beliefs regarding cross-cultural differences in conflict styles. The sample consisted of 188 graduate students from 31 different countries residing in the U.S. Findings indicated that assumptions regarding the relationship of culture to conflict style preferences may not be valid. Preference for using five conflict styles were measured: avoiding, obliging, integrating, compromising, and dominating. The inte…

  • The semantics of social influence

    Edward L Fink, Deborah A Cai et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Monographs•2003•Citada por: 4

    This study investigates how language is used to make sense of influence attempts. More specifically, the perceived potency and evaluation of both influence agents and targets and the influence tactic used are examined for their effect on the actors' perceived power and influence success. The two influence tactics examined are threats and attempts to persuade. A pilot study (N=145) and main experiment (N=189) were conducted to create 84 simple sen…

  • Interattitude Structure and Attitude Dynamics

    Open Access•Leslie D Dinauer, Leslie Dinauer et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•2005•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 30

    Theories of attitude change have failed to identify the architecture of interattitudinal structures and relate it to attitude change. This article examines two models (a hierarchical and a spatial–linkage model) of interattitudinal structure that explicitly posit consequences for attitude change. An experiment (N= 391) was conducted that manipulated type of hierarchy (explicit versus implicit), whether the hierarchy was primed or not, and the loc…

  • The Comparative Statics and Dynamics of Beliefs

    Two models of belief change, Laroche's (1977) comparative statics model and the single-push with friction dynamic model (Kaplowitz, Fink, & Bauer, 1983), were combined and tested. Beliefs about two issues (criminal sentencing and tuition increase) were measured every 77 ms, N=95. Eleven time points from each participant's belief trajectory were analyzed. Message discrepancy and source credibility were manipulated. As predicted, belief change mono…

  • The Cognitive Dynamics of Beliefs

    Open Access•Chung, Sungeun Chung et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•2008•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 24

    This study investigated the time course of belief change from univalent versus mixed-valence messages, both while the message was being received and after receipt while it was being considered. Hypotheses about the temporal patterns of belief change were tested with belief trajectories from S. E. McGreevy (1996), valid N = 78, with an average number of time points per person = 5,267 (126.41 seconds) for the message-receipt phase and 2,467 (59.22 …
