Table 3.

Attitudes and attitude change in the evaluatively-consistent control conditions (Experiment 2).

Dependent measure	Weak arguments-noncredible source (−, −)		Strong arguments-credible source (+, +)
	Focus on arguments (n = 19)	Focus on source (n = 18)	Focus on arguments (n = 16)	Focus on source (n = 19)
Immediate attitudes	−2.39	−1.88	2.66	2.09
	(1.94)	(2.68)	(1.93)	(1.86)
Delayed attitudes	−2.53	−1.96	2.69	2.28
	(1.85)	(2.82)	(2.02)	(1.82)
Attitude change	−0.13^ns	−0.08^ns	0.03^ns	0.18^ns
	(−0.60/0.34)	(−0.56/0.40)	(−0.48/0.54)	(−0.56/0.40)

Note. Immediate and delayed attitudes were measured using scales that ranged from −5 to 5. Values in parentheses are standard deviations for immediate and delayed attitudes; for attitude change scores, they are 95% confidence intervals around the means.
