Abstract

Subjects were trained in the use of a critical method for analyzing controversial messages. At a later date the subjects, along with two control groups, listened to a counter‐attitudinal speech. Utilization of the critical method appeared to serve an immunizing function for females, while for males a heightened persuasibility effect was observed.
