Giambattista Vico and the History of Social Psychology
The Inhibitory and Enhancing Influence of Pretest Commitment
Sixty subjects, 30 volunteers and 30 nonvolunteers, participated in an experiment examining pretest sensitization effects. Two interpretations of these effects—the commitment hypothesis and the demand interpretation—are explored. A variation of the Solomon four-group design was employed and an interaction between pretesting and the type of communication used was hypothesized. The hypothesis was confirmed. The possibility of using the GSR as an in…
Persuasion and the law
Physical Rehabilitation and Attitudes of CVA and Pulmonary Patients
28 cerebro-vascular accident inpatients and 28 pulmonary outpatients were examined for attitudes toward hospital personnel and procedures, toward self, and toward socio-political issues. GSR records were also taken during testing. The ensuing 4 to 6 wk. of rehabilitation therapy was conceived to be the attitude-influencing procedure. Then Ss were again given the attitude questions, and GSR recordings were taken. The following major conclusions we…

Assumptions of Social Psychology
The Effects of Pretest Commitment and Information Upon Opinion Change
Effects of Pretest-Treatment Interval on Opinion Change
Data presented suggest that the interval between pretest and treatment (2 to 21 days) does not have a substantial effect on the magnitude of change of opinion by groups shown a persuasive communication
Inhibitory Effects of a Pretest on Opinion Change
Fear Arousal and Order of Presentation of Persuasive Communications
94 Ss were exposed to various combinations of fear-arousing and neutral communications concerning the effects of smoking. Measures of anxiety and self-esteem were taken on all Ss with the IPAT Self-analysis Form and the Janis and Field Personality Questionnaire, respectively. Ss were then formed into high and low anxiety and self-esteem groups. Of 24 predicted directions of opinion change, 23 were realized although only 11 were statistically sign…
Opinion Change when the Semantic Differential is a Pretest
Complementary and Competing-Order Effects in Opinion Change
Existing Familiarity and Order of Presentation of Persuasive Communications
Groups who have been familiarized with the topic of a communication or who have had their opinion on a topic tapped by questionnaire, have yielded primacy effects when confronted with opposed communications on the same topic. Two intact groups of Ss, both of which were familiar with the two topics of the communications, were exposed to opposed arguments on various aspects of these topics. There were no significant order effects, nor did either gr…

The influence of the pretest on order effects in persuasive communications
The Effect of Correlation On the Repeated Measures Design
The purpose of this paper is to point out that: (a) any repeated measurements on the same organism will in general exhibit statistical dependence; therefore multivariate analysis of variance rather than univariate analysis of variance is appropriate, and (b) multivariate analysis of variance assumes that the carryover effect of a treatment or a test on succeeding treatments is constant and does not depend on the nature of the succeeding treatment…
Subject Awareness and Order Effects in Persuasive Communications
This study was performed with 128 college students acting as Ss. The primary hypothesis that Ss confronted with a hidden pretest in an opinion change study will yield a significant recency effect, and Ss confronted with an exposed pretest will yield a significant primacy effect, was rejected. A primacy effect is in evidence when the pretest is hidden, and no directional effects are present when the pretest is exposed. The secondary hypothesis tha…
