Elaboration Likelihood Model - Part 1


The Elaboration Likelihood Model is a theory that states that the amount and nature of thinking that a person does about a persuasive message is a very important determinant of the kind of persuasion that occurs.

The Peripheral Route to Persuasion does not require full cognitive processing and relies on a simple, low-effort decision strategy such as source attractiveness or message length

The Central Route to Persuasion involves carefully thinking about and thoroughly examining information relevant to a topic
