Opinion‐based group membership as a predictor of commitment to political action (2007, unknown): “564) show much stronger links than those obtained by Visser et al. (2003). Indeed previous research has tended to find weaker connections between attitudinal variables and behavioural intentions For example, Armitage and Conner (2001), who conducted a meta-analysis of 185 tests of the efficacy of th”
Making it moral: Merely labeling an attitude as moral increases its strength (2016, background): “…over time when attitudes are relatively unambivalent but not when they are ambivalent (Clarkson, Tormala, & Rucker, 2008; Luttrell, Petty, & Briñol, 2016), and people engage in attitude-expressive behaviors more when certainty and importance are both high (Visser, Krosnick, & Simmons, 2003).”
The Automaticity of Affect for Political Leaders, Groups, and Issues: An Experimental Test of the Hot Cognition Hypothesis (2005, background): “Increased confidence in a particular preference also leads individuals to deepen their commitment to the preference, to ignore and not pursue additional information, and to resist persuasion (e.g., Sieck and Yates 1997, p. 218; Visser et al. 2003, pp. 135–136; Druckman 2004).”
Attitudes and persuasion. (2006, unknown): “The logic guiding these studies is that to the extent that strength-related features signify the same latent dimension, they should have the same antecedents and produce the same consequences, but should not cause each other (Bizer & Krosnick 2001, Visser et al. 2003).”
The role of certainty (and uncertainty) in attitudes and persuasion (2016, background): “Finally, a growing body of work suggests that attitude certainty is a crucial determinant of attitudinal advocacy: As people become more certain of their attitudes, they become increasingly willing to talk about their attitudes, share their opinions with others, sign pro-attitudinal petitions, and e”
Dynamic Public Opinion: Communication Effects over Time (2010, unknown): “By definition, a strong attitude persists and resists change (Krosnick and Petty 1995; Krosnick and Smith 1994; Miller and Peterson 2004; Visser, Krosnick, and Simmons 2003).”
Exploring the Latent Structure of Strength‐related Attitude Attributes (2006, background): “More importantly, in several of the investigations that we have reviewed, the original authors replicated all of their primary analyses with attitude extremity included as a control variable (e.g., Berger, 1992; Visser et al., 2003; Visser et al., 2004), and this never meaningfully altered the resul”
Emotion and the Framing of Risky Choice (2008, background): “Increased confidence in a particular preference also leads individuals to deepen their commitment to the preference, to ignore and not pursue additional information, and to resist persuasion (e.g., Sieck and Yates 1997, p. 218; Visser et al. 2003, pp. 135–136; Druckman 2004).”
