Download or read book Essays on the Antecedents and Consequences of Attitudinal Advocacy written by Rhiannon Angelica Catapano and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are more divided, and less open to opposing views, than they have been in years. For example, Democrats and Republicans are further apart ideologically than at any point in the past two decades (Pew Research Center 2017). People rarely engage with individuals from across the divide (Eagly, Kulesa, Chen, and Chaiken 2001); even when they do, it often does not lead to meaningful change. In my research, I am interested in how to bridge this divide by better understanding how people change their own minds and aim to change the minds of others. Specifically, I aim to understand advocacy and attitude change from a values perspective: How can we leverage individuals' important values in order to encourage attitude change and advocacy? Under what circumstances do these values lead to unintended consequences? A primary motivation for holding and expressing attitudes is their value-expressive function (Katz 1960). In other words, individuals derive satisfaction from expressing attitudes appropriate to their personal values and their self-concept. In my dissertation, I explore the consequences of this link between values and attitudes. In Essay 1 (Catapano, Tormala, & Rucker 2019, Psychological Science), I explore this relationship in a self-persuasion context. I find that, despite the common wisdom that perspective-taking improves intergroup relationships, when individuals try to take the other side's perspective in an argument generation context, they generate arguments that are incongruent with their own values. As a result, they are less receptive to the opposition, and show less attitude change. In Essay 2, I explore how values affect attitude sharing. I find that individuals view their attitudes as more value expressive when those attitudes are framed in terms of positions they support rather than positions they oppose. As a result, individuals are more likely to share their views when they think in terms of support rather than opposition--even when the two are logically equivalent (e.g. supporting "gun control is good" versus opposing "gun control is bad"). This effect is also driven by a perception that expressing an attitude in terms of what an individual supports leads to greater liking than expressing the same attitude in terms of what they oppose. Together, these essays enhance our understanding of values and the role they play in attitude expression and persuasion.

Download or read book Advocacy Journalists written by Edd Applegate and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In all likelihood advocacy journalism is the oldest form of reportage. It appears frequently whenever journalists desire to advocate their beliefs or ideas about major political or social problems. In Advocacy Journalists: A Biographical Dictionary of Writers and Editors, Edd Applegate identifies the most notable figures in this field. Each entry contains biographical information about a writer or editor who either wrote advocacy journalism or edited one or more publications that featured such material." "Entries consist of discussions of the journalists' lives, professional careers, major works, and, in some cases, commentary on those works. Among those profiled here are such notables as Ambrose Bierce, William F. Buckley Jr., Eldridge Cleaver, Daniel Defoe, Germaine Greer, Pete Hamill, Karl Marx, H. L. Mencken, George Orwell, Thomas Paine, Wilfrid Sheed, Gloria Steinem, and Jonathan Swift." "Unlike other books that focus on the form of advocacy journalism itself or how and why it developed, this book focuses on the lives of journalists and editors and their contributions to advocacy journalism. For scholars, teachers, and students of journalism, along with general readers who wish to discover more about advocacy journalism, this volume is an important and accessible resource." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Advocacy Organizations and Collective Action written by Aseem Prakash and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-25 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocacy organizations are viewed as actors motivated primarily by principled beliefs. This volume outlines a new agenda for the study of advocacy organizations, proposing a model of NGOs as collective actors that seek to fulfil normative concerns and instrumental incentives, face collective action problems, and compete as well as collaborate with other advocacy actors. The analogy of the firm is a useful way of studying advocacy actors because individuals, via advocacy NGOs, make choices which are analytically similar to those that shareholders make in the context of firms. The authors view advocacy NGOs as special types of firms that make strategic choices in policy markets which, along with creating public goods, support organizational survival, visibility, and growth. Advocacy NGOs' strategy can therefore be understood as a response to opportunities to supply distinct advocacy products to well-defined constituencies, as well as a response to normative or principled concerns.
Download or read book Essays on Classical Rhetoric and Modern Discourse written by Robert J. Connors and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteen essays by leading scholars in English, speech communication, education, and philosophy explore the vitality of the classical rhetorical tradition and its influence on both contemporary discourse studies and the teaching of writing. Some of the essays investigate theoretical and historical issues. Others show the bearing of classical rhetoric on contemporary problems in composition, thus blending theory and practice. Common to the varied approaches and viewpoints expressed in this volume is one central theme: the 20th-century revival of rhetoric entails a recovery of the classical tradition, with its marriage of a rich and fully articulated theory with an equally efficacious practice. A preface demonstrates the contribution of Edward P. J.Corbett to the 20th-century revival, and a last chapter includes a bibliography of his works.

Download or read book Five Essays for Freedom written by Kristy Alger and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-24 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal liberationist and emerging avant-garde theorist, Kristy Alger, provides a scathing, provocative exposé of the animal industrial complex in Five Essays for Freedom. Contextualised in current-day Australia, this essay collection is a political primer for the animal advocate, both curious and experienced alike. Alger writes that an understanding of the politics of animal exploitation is critical for the realisation of animal liberation. For if animal advocates do not understand the politics of animal exploitation they cannot hope to disrupt the webs of corporations and government that guarantee its continuation, to the detriment of other animals, humankind and the Earth. Alger asserts that the animal rights movement must extend its scope beyond the promotion of apolitical vegan consumerism as a means to create that accessibility, for the realisation of justice. In doing so, animal advocates can begin pulling at the intersecting threads of the animal industrial complex, progressing towards a future where they themselves are freed from the web alongside the other animals they seek to advocate for. This collection of essays is just the beginning in a new revolution that extends beyond veganism and challenges the very notion of what it means to be an animal advocate and a human being.
