Partisans’ receptivity to persuasive messaging is undiminished by countervailing party leader cues - Nature Human Behaviour
In a study examining 24 US policy issues and 48 persuasive information treatments, the authors find no evidence that US partisans’ receptivity to persuasive information is diminished by countervailing cues from favoured party leaders.
Noah Gibbs@Drand @jeffowski Is that what that study is saying? I'm having trouble telling what it's claiming.
Like, it's claiming the party leader cue is *stronger* than the persuasive argument, but also that party leader cues don't have an effect on the persuasive argument.
I imagine it means something specific, but man it's not clear exactly what.
Maybe that you can mostly just add the two? But then it's not saying "people change their mind when you show them facts."
