This exploratory study involving 108 undergraduates investigated effects of equivocation, order of agreeable and disagreeable issues, source credibility, and time on the receiver's agreement with and recall of messages. Results indicated that both equivocated messages and high-credibility sources produced significantly more agreement. Recall was significantly better for clearly stated issues than for equivocated disagreeable issues, and it was better immediately following exposure to the message than it was two weeks later. Results were discussed in terms of information processing theory, focusing on the relationship between the affective domain and the cognitive domain. (Author/AA)
