Can persuasion effectively impact our attitudes towards PDA (public…

- - - - Age- Participants of different ages may feel/think differently towards PDA, because they are at different stages in life. For example, older participants may feel more positively towards PDA than younger participants due to a difference in maturity.
      - Cultural background- Participants may have different attitudes towards PDA prior to the experiment based on their cultural background, which may impact their ability to be persuaded by the persuasive essay.
      - Mood- Participants may choose to ignore the essay's contents, or they may "zone out" while reading it, because they are in a bad mood, which would negatively affect the data because some participants results did not accurately reflect their attitude towards PDA.
    - - Background noise- Participants may be distracted by background noise, which may affect their ability to pay attention to the persuasive piece. If they do not give their full attention to the persuasive piece, then their attitudes may have a lower chance of changing, which would negatively impact the data.
      - Room temperaure- Participants may feel positive or negative emotions based on the room temperature, which may affect their mood, resulting in a negative or positive attitude towards PDA that has not arisen from their true beliefs towards it.
    - - Length of persuasive writing- It must be kept constant, because the length of the persuasive piece may gather different levels of attention of the participants, which may affect their attitudes towards PDA.
      - Persuasive writing piece- It must be kept constant, because otherwise participants may have their attitudes changed by different aspects of different persuasive pieces, which may make it more difficult to interpret the data.
