| Percent change and confidence level, from 1 to 7, were independent variables and number of opposing messages was a dependent variable. Although expressed conviction declined continuously with increased numbers of people providing an opposing message, change was much less linear. As expected, very few people (less than 3% overall) changed when 4, 3, or even 2 others agreed with their position. However, when they received three or more opposing messages, substantially higher percentages (59%) of individuals changed their choice. Although individuals were surprisingly stubborn, weighting their own opinions highly even when faced with unanimous opposition, they were generally quite responsive to social influence. | ||
