During the election campaign of 1935, the city of Allentown, Pennsylvania, was divided for experimental purposes into three types of wards:(1) an" emotional" area in which all the resident adults received leaflets written in vigorous advertising style urging the support of the Socialist ticket;(2) a" rational" region, in which a more academic type of persuasion was used; and (3) a control district where nothing was distributed. The increase in the minority party vote was greatest in the emotional wards, next largest in the rational wards, and lowest in the control wards. These facts may constitute a significant beginning for an experimentally grounded political psychology and pedagogy.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
