The article cites a study aimed to follow-up on the implications of earlier findings of a study conducted by I. L. Janis and S. Feshbach regarding psychological resistances to fear arousing communications. The study made use of 31 smoking- adult subjects consisting of 6 females and 25 males from 18-55 years old and each were subjected to an interview regarding their smoking habits. The precommunication interview was followed by exposure of the subjects to Low or High Threat version of the communication each of which were presented in a separate card. Results of the study concluded that when a strong level of fear is induced by a communication presented in a persuasive manner, the recipient is motivated to develop psychological resistances to the arguments of the communication. |
