Interesting. They posit several conditions for mind-changing.
The person is motivated/somehow involved with the outcome of the decision.
The argument for a different view is strong.
Their own view is shown to have a weakness.
They like you. (ingroup affiliation is also mentioned)
They have time to think about it.
Not all conditions are always required, but each has a significant impact.
