Reading: The moderator-mediator variable distinction in social psychological research

The purpose of this analysis is to distinguish between the
properties of moderator and mediator variables in such a way as to clarify the different ways in which conceptual

variables may account for differences in peoples

behavior. In general terms, a moderator is a qualitative (e.g. sex, race, class) or quantitative (e.g. level of reward) variable that affects the direction and/or strength of the relation between an independent or predictor variable and a dependent or criterion variable.

Reading: Attitude change

For over 40 years, the central organizing perspective in this area has been a dual-motive scheme that which

differentiates

between

informational

influence,

involves accepting information obtained from others as evidence about reality, and normative influence, which involves conformity with the positive expectations of another who could be another person, a group, or ones self

 Social influence researchers traditionally assumed that informational and normative motives are each associated with unique mechanisms that generate attitude change and with unique forms of change. When participants were motivated to defend their own position, they selected arguments to read that supported their view, generated thoughts supportive of their position,

and indicated relatively polarized attitudes.

Recent empirical findings suggest instead that lack of continuity between public and private judgements is not

reliably diagnostic of recipients motives
