Abstract

Meta-analyses provide support for the improved persuasiveness of a message including: (a) evidence source qualification, (b) assertive evidence, and (c) statistical over narrative evidence. The current empirical examination seeks to determine whether the persuasiveness of a message represents the additive effect of the individual message elements. The data in this investigation support this view of message persuasiveness.
