“…Although classification of findings is difficult because of the differing time intervals investigated, some studies which have found complete decay are Chen (1936), Insko, Arkoff, and Insko (1965), Kelman (1958Kelman ( , 1960, and Sims (1938). Some studies which have found partial persistence are Annis and Maier (1934), Cherrington and Miller (1933), Dietrich (1946), Dillehay, Insko, and Smith (1966), Hall (1938), Kelman (1960), McGuire (1957McGuire ( , 1960, Mitnick and McGinnies (1958), Papageorgis (1963), Peterson and Thurstone (1933), Smith (1943), Stotland, Katz, and Patchen (1959), Watts and McGuire (1964), and Weiss (1953).

An experiment was conducted which demonstrated that conclusion reexposure facilitates the persistence of attitude change. After initial exposure to a communication in a laboratory setting, 5s were sent postcards reminding them of the time and place for a 2nd laboratory session. For approximately i of the Ss the postcards also mentioned the communication topic. Over the most extreme time intervals Ss in this reinstatement condition showed significantly greater persistence effects.

“…finding some decay but a still significant residual change after considerable periods include Cherrington and Miller (1933), Dietrich (1946), Janis, Lumsdaine, andGladstone (1951), andMcGuire (1960a). Almost complete persistence of the initially induced change was found by Annis and Meier (1934) and Smith (1943).…”

Induced opinion change shows a strong positive relationship to recall of the contents of the persuasive message 1 week after receipt of the communication but tends, over time, to become functionally autonomous of recall of at least some aspects of the contents of the inducing message. Induced opinion change was found to decay rectilinearly over a 6-week period, while recall of contents showed a negatively accelerated decay trend. Opinion change and recall of the message topic were positively related 1 week after the communication, but negatively related 6 weeks later. Recall of the side taken and of the specific arguments used were positively related to opinion change both 1 week and 6 weeks after the communication. Recall of source was complexly related to opinion change.

Education, and propaganda were found to have an effect on attitudes by Campbell and Stover (34), Chen (45), Garrison (86), Nystrom (165), and Cherrington and Miller (46). Zeligs and Hendrickson (268) found a marked correlation between attitudes of Jewish children and adults.…”
