McNamee's Testimony |
Flemington, NJ, February 13, 2008 – A new national study among 424 Americans revealed that a majority of Americans viewed Brian McNamee as more believable than Roger Clemens after viewing portions of their testimonies in front of Congress today.
The communications research study was conducted today by HCD Research using its mediacurves.com web site, to obtain Americans’ views on testimony given by Clemens and his former trainer Brian McNamee in front of a U.S. Congressional Committee.
Clemens was one of the players listed in the Mitchell Report, and McNamee stated that he administered steroids and human growth hormones to him during his baseball career.
While watching video segments of Clemens’ and McNamee’s testimonies, participants were asked to indicate their levels of believability by moving their mouse from left to right on a continuum. The responses were recorded in quarter-second intervals and reported in the form of curves. Respondents were divided into two groups with half watching Clemens’ testimony and half viewing McNamee’s testimony.
Participants were also asked pre- and post-viewing questions. To view believability curves and detailed results, go to: www.mediacurves.com
