摘要
摘要围绕对美国媒体信任度下降的讨论可能对其影响含糊其辞。一个经典的答案来自说服文献，其中来源可信度起着关键作用。然而，现有的研究几乎普遍认为可信度是必然的。为了克服由此可能导致的潜在严重混淆，我们创建了一个假设的新闻媒体，并在多大程度上操纵它被描述为可信的。然后，我们随机分配受试者阅读来源的专栏文章。我们的可信度处理很强，增加了对我们模拟来源的信任，直到10天后。我们发现一些证据表明，由此产生的更高的感知可信度提高了关于更多党派话题的论点的说服力（但对于政治化程度较低的问题则不然）。尽管我们的发现喜忧参半，但我们认为，这种实验方法可以有效地增强我们对来源信任和意见变化之间的相互作用的理解。本文章由计算机程序翻译，如有差异，请以英文原文为准。
When Do Sources Persuade? The Effect of Source Credibility on Opinion Change
Abstract Discussions around declining trust in the US media can be vague about its effects. One classic answer comes from the persuasion literature, in which source credibility plays a key role. However, existing research almost universally takes credibility as a given. To overcome the potentially severe confounding that can result from this, we create a hypothetical news outlet and manipulate to what extent it is portrayed as credible. We then randomly assign subjects to read op-eds attributed to the source. Our credibility treatments are strong, increasing trust in our mock source until up to 10 days later. We find some evidence that the resulting higher perceived credibility boosts the persuasiveness of arguments about more partisan topics (but not for a less politicized issue). Though our findings are mixed, we argue that this experimental approach can fruitfully enhance our understanding of the interplay between source trust and opinion change over sustained periods.

期刊介绍：
The Journal of Experimental Political Science (JEPS) features cutting-edge research that utilizes experimental methods or experimental reasoning based on naturally occurring data. We define experimental methods broadly: research featuring random (or quasi-random) assignment of subjects to different treatments in an effort to isolate causal relationships in the sphere of politics. JEPS embraces all of the different types of experiments carried out as part of political science research, including survey experiments, laboratory experiments, field experiments, lab experiments in the field, natural and neurological experiments. We invite authors to submit concise articles (around 4000 words or fewer) that immediately address the subject of the research. We do not require lengthy explanations regarding and justifications of the experimental method. Nor do we expect extensive literature reviews of pros and cons of the methodological approaches involved in the experiment unless the goal of the article is to explore these methodological issues. We expect readers to be familiar with experimental methods and therefore to not need pages of literature reviews to be convinced that experimental methods are a legitimate methodological approach. We will consider longer articles in rare, but appropriate cases, as in the following examples: when a new experimental method or approach is being introduced and discussed or when novel theoretical results are being evaluated through experimentation. Finally, we strongly encourage authors to submit manuscripts that showcase informative null findings or inconsistent results from well-designed, executed, and analyzed experiments.
