(1935).

Explain the two types of policy claims.. There are four common claims that can be made: definitional, factual, policy, and value.. The first common types of claims that a persuasive speaker can make are definitional or classification claims.. You could even look at the legal definition of prostitution and demonstrate to your peers that therapeutic massage does not fall into the legal definition of prostitution because it does not involve the behaviors characterized by that definition.. The simple fact of the matter is that there is not enough evidence to clearly answer this factual claim in any specific direction, which is where the notion of faith must be involved in this factual claim.. The third common claim that is seen in persuasive speeches is the policy claim —a statement about the nature of a problem and the solution that should be implemented.. When we attempt to gain the passive agreement of our audiences, our goal is to get our audiences to agree with what we are saying and our specific policy without asking the audience to do anything to enact the policy.. The alternative to passive agreement is immediate action, or persuading your audience to start engaging in a specific behavior.. Many passive agreement topics can become immediate action-oriented topics as soon as you tell your audience what behavior they should engage in (e.g., sign a petition, call a senator, vote).. Let’s look at three value claims.. When persuaders attempt to gain passive agreement from an audience, they hope that an audience will agree with what is said about a specific policy without asking the audience to do anything to enact the policy.. Select a speech and examine the speech to determine which type of claim is being made by the speech.. Which type of policy outcome was the speech aimed at achieving—passive agreement or immediate action?

People are bombarded by persuasive messages in today’s world, so thinking about how to create persuasive messages effectively is very important for modern public speakers.. Thankfully, scholars who study persuasion have kept up with the changing times and have found a number of persuasive strategies that help speakers be more persuasive.. As we explained in Chapter 6 “Finding a Purpose and Selecting a Topic” , when it comes to persuading people to alter core and dispositional beliefs, persuading audiences to change core beliefs is more difficult than persuading audiences to change dispositional beliefs.. The second type of persuasive speech is one in which the speaker attempts to persuade an audience to change their behavior.. For example, if you are giving your speech on majoring in a foreign language, people who are in favor of majoring in a foreign language are more likely to positively evaluate your message, assimilate your advice into their own ideas, and engage in desired behavior.. If the language or message is too complicated, then people will not highly elaborate on it because they will not understand the persuasive message.. The first reason people are motivated to take the central route or use high elaboration when listening to a persuasive message involves personal relevance and involvement.. Studying persuasion is important today because it helps us become more persuasive individuals, become more observant of others’ persuasive attempts, and have a more complete understanding of the world around us.

The first part of getting your message across is the message itself.. A basic model of human communication is one of the first topics that most communication teachers start with in any class.. In public speaking, the source is the person who is giving the speech, the channel is the speaker’s use of verbal and nonverbal communication , and the receivers are the audience members listening to the speech.. The second major process is the decoding process, or “sensing (for example, hearing or seeing) a source’s message, interpreting the source’s message, evaluating the source’s message, and responding to the source’s message” (Wrench, McCroskey & Richmond, 2008).. Decoding is relevant in the public speaking context when, as an audience member, you listen to the words of the speech, pay attention to nonverbal behaviors of the speaker, and attend to any presentation aids that the speaker uses.. Once you have interpreted what the speaker is communicating, you then evaluate the message.. For meaning to occur, we must have some shared experiences with our audience; this makes it challenging to speak effectively to audiences with very different experiences from our own.. Most people think of public speaking as engaging in a monologue where the speaker stands and delivers information and the audience passively listens.. Meanings are in people not words.. Part of the dialogic process in public speaking is realizing that you and your audience may differ in how you see your speech.. The dialogic theory of public speaking understands public speaking as a dialogue between speaker and audience..
