Beliefs An individual’s perception of what is true or false
Values An enduring concept of good and bad, right and wrong
Behavior The way in which one acts or conducts oneself, especially toward others
Aristotle’s Classical Approach to Persuasion This approach identifies three general methods (or “available means”) of persuasion: ethos, logos, and pathos
Rhetoric The process of discovering, in any particular case, the available means of persuasion
Ethos The term Aristotle used to refer to a speaker’s credibility
Pathos The term used by Aristotle to refer to appeals to human emotion
Logos The term Aristotle used to refer to logic—the formal system of using rules to reach a conclusion
Elaboration Likelihood Model The theory that people can be persuaded by logic, evidence, and reasoning, or through a more peripheral route that may depend on the credibility of the speaker, the sheer number of arguments presented, or emotional appeals
Direct Persuasion Route Persuasion that occurs when audience members critically examine evidence and arguments
Indirect Persuasion Route Persuasion that occurs as a result of factors peripheral to a speaker’s logic and argument, such as the speaker’s charisma or emotional appeals
Cognitive Dissonance The sense of mental discomfort that prompts a person to change when new information conflicts with previously organized thought patterns
Physiological Needs We all need air, water, and food. According to Maslow’s theory, unless those needs are met, it will be difficult to motivate a listener to satisfy other needs
Safety Needs Once basic physiological needs are met, listeners are concerned about their safety. We all need to feel safe, secure, and protected. Persuasive speakers often appeal to our need to provide for our own and our loved ones’ safety
Social Needs We need contact with others and reassurance that they care about us. According to Maslow, these social needs translate into our need for a sense of belonging to a group. Powerful persuasive appeals are based on our need for social contact
Self-Esteem Needs The need for self-esteem reflects our desire to think well of ourselves. Advertisers often appeal to this need to persuade us to buy products
Self-Actualization Needs The need for self-actualization is the need to fully realize one’s highest potential, which Maslow suggested could be addressed only after we met needs at the other four levels. Being the best at something appeals to this need
Positive Motivation Positive motivational appeals are suggestions that good things will happen to listeners who heed the speaker’s advice
Negative Motivation Negative motivation, also known as a fear appeal, takes the form of an “if–then” statement. If you don’t do ___, then awful things will happen to you
Social Judgement Theory A theory that categorizes listener responses to a persuasive message
Proposition of Fact A proposition focusing on whether something is true or false or whether it did or did not happen
Proposition of Value A proposition calling for the listener to judge the worth or importance of something
Proposition of Policy A proposition advocating a change in a policy, procedure, or behavior
Credibility Ethos→ Audience’s perception of a speaker’s competence, trustworthiness, and dynamism
Competance Informed, skilled, or knowledgeable about one’s subject
Trustworthiness Honesty and sincerity
Dynamism Energy through your delivery
Charisma A form of dynamism, possesses charm, talent, magnetism, and other qualities that make the person attractive and energetic
Initial Credibility The impression listeners have of you before you start speaking (perception based on appearance, word of mouth, and previous speeches you have presented)
Derived Credibility The perception of credibility the audience forms while you are speaking
Terminal Credibility The impression your audience has of you at the end of your speech
Reasoning The process of drawing a conclusion from evidence
Evidence Facts, examples, statistics, expert opinions
Soft Evidence Rests on opinion or interference. Hypothetical illustrations, descriptions, explanations, definitions, analogies, and opinions are usually considered soft
Hard Evidence Includes factual examples and statistics
Inductive Reasoning You reach a general conclusion based on specific examples, facts, statistics, and opinions
Deductive Reasoning Reasoning from a general statement or principle to reach a specific conclusion. → The opposite of inductive reasoning
Reasoning by Analogy A special type of inductive reasoning; an analogy is a comparison→ compares one thing, person, or process with another, to predict how the second thing will perform or respond
Reasoning by Sign A type of inductive reasoning; occurs when two things are so closely related that the existence of one thing means that the other thing will happen. Ex: Thunder & Lightning
Syllogism A form of deductive reasoning: consists of a major premise (“all gods are immortal”), a minor premise (“Zeus is a god”), and then a conclusion (“Zeus is immortal”)
