The Elaboration Likelihood Model
(Petty, Cacioppo, and Schumann, 1983)


Focuses on the way consumers respond to
persuasive messages based on the amount
and nature of elaboration or processing of
information
Routes to attitude change
Routes to attitude change


Central route to persuasion: ability and
motivation to process a message is high and
close attention is paid to message content.
Peripheral route to persuasion: ability and
motivation to process a message is low and
receiver focuses more on peripheral cues rather
than message content.

Route

Order of Presentation



Primacy effect: information presented first is
most effective.
Recency effect: the last arguments presented
are most persuasive.
Most effective sales presentations open and
close with strong selling points and bury
weaker arguments in the middle.
Target audience’s attitude: opposed, not
interested, or predisposed.

Conclusion Drawing



In general, messages with explicit
conclusions are more easily
understood and effective in
influencing.
Open-ended ads were more effective
than closed-ended arguments that
did include a specific conclusion –
but only for involved audiences.
Factors: involvement, education, the
type of issue or topic, the nature of
the situation, complexity.
Conclusion Drawing
Message Sidedness





One-sided message: mention only positive
attributes or benefits.
Two-sided message: present both good and
bad points.
Two-sided message may enhance the
credibility of the source.
E.g. Avis: “We are No. 2. We try harder.”; 全
聯福利中心.
Factors: education, audience’s attitude.
Two-Sided Message
Refutation




The communicator presents both sides of an issue
and then refutes the opposing viewpoint.
Refutational messages may be useful when
marketers wish to build attitudes that resist change
and must defend against attacks or criticism of their
products or company.
Refutational appeals are more effective than onesided messages in making consumers resistant to
an opposing message.
Examples: PHS vs. GSM, 烤米片 vs. 洋芋片.
