INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was pert of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received. University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 USA St John's Road.

Sandman (LA Adviser Department of Psychology ACKNOWLED CEMENT S I wish to thank Dr. Anthony G. Greenwald, who acted as the prin cip al adviser, and committee members, Dr. Curt A. Sandman and Dr. Timothy C. Brock. This work benefited greatly from their ques tions and comments. Laboratory space and equipment for Experiments 1 and 2 were pro vided by Dr. Curt Sandman; laboratory space and p a tie n ts were fu r nished by Dr. Charles V. Meckstroth in Experiments 3 and 5. Their resources, which were in constant demand, were especially appreciated. Much of this work was made possible by the many hours of assis tance of others, Susan Hatch, Debra Horowski, Cindy Birk, Pat Maynard, Dennis Marikis, Keith Reichenbacher, Bruce Glatter, Doug Lundy, and June Chen helped during the data collection and reduction of one or more of the experiments reported; I am indebted deeply to them for their contributions. Several persons made a special effort to help in some way during the research. Dr. John H. Harvey and Dr. Thomas M. Ostrom furnished comments on an earlier draft of Chapter 2; Barbara B. Walker assisted during Experiment 2; Toni DiGeronimo typed a preliminary version of Chapter 1; Linda Fusek recruited and scheduled patients for Experi ments 3 and 5; and Patti Watson typed the final version of this manuscript. ii Special thanks are due to Richard E. Petty, a close friend and colleague, for his assistance during all phases of this research; to Elizabeth S. Caron for her help during the preparation of this manuscript; and to my parents, Cyrus J, and Mary K, Cacioppo, for their support and sacrifice over the years. i l l VITA Date and place of b irth ................................June 12, 1951 M arshall, Texas B.S. cum laude (June, 1973) ........................
