Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The research on subliminal messages has been controversial and inconclusive. Most studies have shown that people are not significantly affected by subliminal messages, and even if they are able to perceive them, the effects are very weak or short-lived. Therefore, it is unlikely that Chang will be affected by the backward message in the Live Bait music. He may or may not be able to quote it, but even if he does, it is unlikely that he will read his psychology textbook more or feel compelled to do so. The message is also not particularly relevant or compelling, so it is unlikely to have any significant impact on Chang's behavior or attitudes.
