Modelling a Receiver's Position to Persuasive Arguments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Social psychology shows that the effect of a persuasive argument depends on characteristics of the person to be persuaded, including the person’s involvement with the topic and the discrepancy between the person’s current position on the topic and the argument’s position. Via a series of experiments, this paper provides insight into how the receiver’s position can be modelled computationally, as a function of the strength, feature importance, and position of arguments in a set.

The role of argument in such cases is to persuade rather than to prove, demonstrate or refute. Drawing on ideas of Perelman, we argue that persuasion in such cases relies on a recognition that the strength of an argument in ...
