dc.description.abstractThis study involved the testing of a typology of persuasive strategies in a descriptive setting for the first time. The "Project Narrative" portion of a set of federal funding proposals was analyzed via content analysis.en_US
dc.description.abstractThree hypotheses involving the use of persuasive strategies were tested. A fourth hypothesis regarding the results of those tests was conducted.en_US
dc.description.abstractRecommendations for further study included analysis of the texts of various documents such as private funding proposals, the minutes of decisionmaking bodies' meetings, speeches, and advertisements.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe data revealed that the authors of the proposals analyzed employed a variety of strategies; although they preferred reward-oriented strategies. Thus the investigator failed to accept any of the four hypotheses.en_US
