What is truly persuasive?
symbolic attitude approach, emphasizes that attitudes are dominated by emotional reactions,sweeping sentiments, and powerful prejudices
These, rather than molecular beliefs, are believed to lie at the core of people's evaluations of social issues
Symbols - the focal point of attitudes toward the flag, race, abortion, guns, and immigration - evoke affect, and the affect, once activated by social stimuli, spreads through a person's cognitive network (see Sears, Henry, & Kosterman, 2000; Pryor & Reeder, 1993).
