Dedication May 20, 1995
This volume has been prepared in honor of the late Gerald R. Miller, who was a professor in the Department of Communication at Michigan State University. All of the authors of this volume were both his students and friends. Gerry's intense and enduring interest in com munication and social influence processes sparked similar interests in his students, as the chapters of this volume clearly demonstrate. A more subtle but perhaps even more profound gift Gerry gave to his students was his consistent encouragement to take intellectual risks and to advance and develop new ideas. His influence is reflected in the diversity of topics included in this book's chapters and the innovative approaches used to investigate them. Although Gerry is no longer with us physically, in so many ways he is present in each of these chapters. We all miss him very much, but his ideas will always be part of our thinking, writing, and contin uing conversations about communication and social influence processes.

Preface
Students of social influence, from Aristotle to contemporary scholars, have viewed communication processes as fundamental to the induction of attitude and behavioral change in people. When the experimental study of persuasion became popular at the midpoint of the 20th century, researchers sought to isolate the causal variables responsible for producing attitude change (Hovland, Janis, & Kelley, 1953). While research reported during that era examined the role of personality variables in the persuasion process (Janis & Field, 1959), such message factors as fear appeals and message sidedness, as well as the order of presentation of persuasive communications, were deemed central to the induction of social influence (Hovland, 1957). With the introduction of television, increased concern was expressed over the persuasive effects of mass media, especially with respect to such issues as violent media portrayals and their influence on children (Schramm, Lyle, & Parker, 1961). However, almost identical alarms were sounded more than two decades earlier by the Payne Fund researchers with respect to the potential deleterious effects of movie attendance on children (Charters, 1933: Wartella & Reeves, 1985).
