- DESCRIPTION: Test the hypothesis that media information has immediate and delayed effect on peoples per-existing opinion. Data collected from 91 students giving opinion on 6 health related questions before and after, as well as one week after, watching a recorded TV interview with a cardiac surgeon. The opinion of the surgeon is very biased. The number of YES (agree with health related statement) increased statistically significantly immediately after and remained statistically elevated even one week after as based on a one sample t-test, reference mean value 0. While the change in the number of YES was elevated one week later, it tended to decrease in contrast to immediately after, which may indicate a dissipation in the learned/biased information.
