It was assumed that two different meassages, that is, descriptive message and evaluative message, influence differently two basic routes to persuasion mapped by Petty & Cacioppo (1981). This study predicted that attitude change will be made on the evaluative persuasion according to numbers of opinion, while on the descriptive persuasion according to directions of attitude measure. Experiment was conducted by a 2(contents of message) x 2(numbers of opinion) x 2(directions of attitude measure) factorial design. The result of this study suggest that descriptive persuasion was through central route to persuasion, while evaluative persuasion through peripheral route.
