The problem is that non-Petty & Cacioppo citations are needed. Because Petty and Cacioppo developed the theory, they are thought of as primary sources in Wiki-land. Secondary sources are considered more reliable and verifiable than primary sources.

I know there are loads of articles testing this theory, so all you need to do is add a few academic articles that weren't written by Petty and Cacioppo. I think it's good to leave the citations you have as academics will want the original citations, as they appear here.

[edit] reference Miller, 2005

I think it would also be useful to know where you got this text from:

Peripheral route processes, on the other hand, do not involve elaboration of the message through extensive cognitive processing of the merits of the actual argument presented. These processes often rely on environmental characteristics of the message, like the perceived credibility of the source, quality of the way in which it is presented, the attractiveness of the source, or the catchy slogan that contains the message (Miller, 2005, p.129).

Please add the complete reference. It is not verifiable as stated. 137.120.237.122 10:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)Kim
