As we live in an era of information warfare, there would be a need for a similar grand project to know more on propaganda and how to resist it than the one that was implemented during the biggest traditional war of the twentieth century: the Yale-program was focusing on the possibilities for attitude change and the resistance to persuasion in the context of the World Wars (for an overview, see [McGuire, W.J. (1996) ‘The Yale communication and attitude-change program in the 1950s’, in E.E. Dennis and E. Wartella (eds.) LEA’s communication seriesL American communication research – The remembered history, Hillsdalfe, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, pp. 39-59]).
