The Elaboration Likelihood Model: Implications for the Practice of School Psychology.

Petty, Richard E.; Heesacker, Martin; Hughes, Jan N.

Journal of School Psychology, v35 n2 p107-36 Sum 1997

Reviews a contemporary theory of attitude change, the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) of persuasion, and addresses its relevance to school psychology. Claims that a key postulate of ELM is that attitude change results from thoughtful (central route) or nonthoughtful (peripheral route) processes. Illustrations of ELM's utility for school psychology are presented. (RJM)
