Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effect of discrepancy depends on communicator credibility. While messages that are too similar to the audience's views may not be persuasive, messages that are too discrepant can also be dismissed by the audience. The credibility of the communicator can help to establish trust and increase the likelihood of persuasive impact, even when the message is somewhat discrepant from the audience's views. Channel of communication is also a factor, but it is not as directly related to the effect of discrepancy as credibility. Therefore, D is the best choice.
