- Message Sidedness
- Hovland and colleagues established the basic contrast in WWII-era research on troop propaganda
This sourceThe wartime Army experiments comparing 'one side' with 'both sides' presentations of a controversial issue to soldiers. The post-VE-Day Army experiment with programs arguing that the war with Japan would take at least two more years. The finding that the two-sided program was more effective with better-educated men and the one-sided program with less-educated men, with results also analysed by the men's initial position.

This sourceThe primary report of the WWII Army experiment comparing one-sided and two-sided presentations. The experimental materials: one-sided and two-sided radio transcriptions arguing that the war with Japan would take at least two years after VE Day. The reported interaction: equal overall effects, with the two-sided program more effective for men initially opposed and for the better educated, and the one-sided program for those already convinced.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
