Boomerang effect (psychology)

  • ... that a persuasive message that creates an attitude change in the opposite intended direction is called a boomerang effect?

Expanded by Peabunny (talk). Self nominated at 10:37, 8 December 2013 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg There seem to be several problems including:
  1. The expansion doesn't seem to be x5. My calculation is 14312 / 3817 = 3.75.
  2. There are many paragraphs without citations.
  3. The English seems weak. For example, the word intension in the lead seems to be a misspelling of intention.

Thank you Andrew for the feedback and comments.

  • I have corrected the misspelled intension.
  • Regarding the calculation, the last 13996 and 2803 are both edited by me. I just realized that the edition I submitted earlier was not right and corrected it yesterday. so the calculation might be instead 14312 / (3817-2803) = 14 ish.
  • Regarding the reference. I think there might be some issue with my ref editing. I noticed that user Mandarax has been helping to correct the ref mistakes in wiki editing.

I will keep correcting the wiki syntax. Thank you again for the comment and please let me know if there is more I can do.
