Abstract

The theory of attitude change in recent years has given particular attention to processes involving the re-establishment of equilibrium. Here is a masterful summary and critique of these theoretical developments which was read at the annual conference of the American Association for Public Opinion Research in Berkeley, California, on May 5, 1961.
