must be reception and acceptance of message.
elaboration >> important intermediate step
Peripheral Route
simple minded heuristics (message is correct if communicator has good rep, speaks fluently, writes well or if message has many arguements, stats, supporting experts
attitude irrelevant cues (body movement, physical attractiveness)

order of arguments, we remember beginning and end 4,3,2,1,5
discrepancy from own attitude
