Title: | Does Greater Amount of Information Always Bolster Attitudinal Resistance? |

Abstract: | Previous research suggests that attitudinal resistance to information that challenges a prior evaluation increases with the amount of information underlying the prior evaluation. The authors revisit this proposition in a context in which a set of important claims about a target brand are presented either alone-a lower amount of "isolated" information-or along with other favorable, but less important claims-a higher amount of "embedded" information. Results from two experiments show that when the challenge occurs immediately after the initial evaluation, a greater amount of "embedded" initial information does produce greater attitudinal resistance. However, when the challenge occurs after a delay, a lesser amount of "isolated" information produces greater attitudinal resistance. |
