Elaboration Likelihood Model

Social Psychology

The elaboration likelihood model of persuasion is a dual process theory describing the change of attitudes, developed by Richard E. Petty and John Cacioppo in 1986. The model aims to explain different ways of processing stimuli, why they are used, and their outcomes on attitude change, proposing two major routes to persuasion: the central route and the peripheral route.
