Experimental Group 3 watches a mixed film which has things in it from both the ideological film and the technological one and is called Wildcat.

Control GroupControl Film
The Control Group watches the film The Waco-San Angelo Disaster Study which is about a community in Texas that must rebuild itself after a tornado in 1953. This film has nothing to do with the oil industry which is why it is the controlWaco-San Angelo Disaster Study
ResultsUsing the Hovland Effectiveness index
Those that viewed either the ideological or technological film were more likely to change their opinion of the oil industry to a more favorable one.Calculate scores on the questionnaire based on this scale:Strongly agree=5, agree=4, neither=3, disagree=2, strongly disagree=1
(P2-P1)(N-P1)N=size of groupP2=final number of favorable scoresP1=number of initially favorable scoresFavorable Score =54 or higher The greatest effectiveness index for the post test and delayed post test was the ideological film with a 5.1 and 1.5.2nd greatest was the technological film with a 3.8 and 1.4.More Results
This table shows the number of scores that moved up, down, and remained the same after each movie.
Most effective film for raising scores was the ideological film in both the post test and delayed post test Ideological film moved 61 scores up for the post test and 59 for the delayed post test. 2nd most for the post was the mixed and the 2nd most for the delayed was the technological film.Evaluation
According to the evaluation the most disliked film was the ideological film and it was also believed to be the least fair and balanced.Only 51.5% of those that watched the ideological film enjoyed it and only 45.6% believed it to be fair and balanced.

Two conflicting ideas about this girl one saying she is right while the other saying she isnt which causes distress. In order to justify staying with her even though part of himself doesnt like her he tells himself that what they had was love.Cognitive DissonanceDonald Auster, Leon Festinger, Merrill Carlsmith
