I heard this from someone:
When students were assigned to defend a stance opposite to their own held view in a debate, their personally held views were permanently altered, closer to center from their originally held views.
To my knowledge this phenomenon was studied in a university somewhere, but I can't seem to find reference to it. Can anyone confirm for me that this is in fact true? Can anyone point me in the right direction so that I could cite the study in an essay?

So, it is subject to variables that may change in other studies, in other universities, cities, countries and many more. in such a case generalization needs many grounds and justifications!
Anyway as I have worked on search strategies, maybe the ones that shared in the following question, can help you retrieve the item you are looking for...
