Abstract

Persuasive one- and two-sided communications were placed in two competing mock proposals and evaluated by 27 experienced government evaluators as subjects. The experimental conditions closely simulated real proposals and the mechanics of a government evaluation process. Evaluation scores, although in the predicted direction, did not differ significantly and failed to substantiate the advantage of two-sided communications as reported by Hovland, Janis, and Kelley (1953).
