Abstract

In a persuasive communication, not only the content of the message but also its source, and the type of communication can influence its persuasiveness on the audience. This paper compares the effects on the audience of direct versus indirect communication, one-sided versus two-sided messages, and one agent presenting the message versus a team presenting the message.
