Persuading the Bystander
We introduce audience partitioning as a persuasive tactic used in one-to-many communication. When the audience is partitioned, those not addressed become bystanders to a persuasive message addressed at someone else. We find bystanders have lower barriers to persuasion and are therefore more persuaded compared to those addressed implicitly or explicitly.
