I'm guessing the answer is A.
The correct answer is "True".
In issue-relevant thinking there are 2 major routes that lead to persuasion.
- Under the <em>central route</em>, a person will be persuaded after careful consideration of the true merits of the information received.
- Under the <em>peripheral route</em>, a person will focus on the positive or negative aspects about the information received, regardless of the information's true characteristics.
If a person who is receiving information (receiver) becomes distracted, he will probably miss details relevant to the "central" route. This would lead him to make a conclusion based on what he considers to be positive or negative about the information he is receiving.
Example: A car's cost is information related to the "central" route because it cannot be related to being positive or negative. On the other hand, a car's color is related to the "peripheral" route because a person can have a preference for certain color that would lead him to consider the car's color as positive or negative.
