Concepts and methods from communication and social psychology are seamlessly integrated to give students a solid grasp of foundational issues in persuasion research, the core features of persuasive transactions, and major models of persuasive communication. Retaining the clear organization and wealth of concrete examples that distinguished the original text, the second edition has been updated throughout with new data and theoretical developments.

Designed for students with a basic understanding of quantitative research methods, this is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses."--Publisher description.
