What is compliance?
Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request.
• The direct pressure may not always be apparent to the individual.
• The person making the request has no power to enforce it.

![Page 9: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cialdini’s 6 factors
Cialdini found 6 factors that influence whether a person will comply with a request
• Authority• Commitment• Liking• Reciprocity• Scarcity• Social proof
![Page 10: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Authority
We feel a sense of duty or obligation to people in positions of authority. This is why advertisers of pharmaceutical products employ doctors to front their campaigns, and why most of us will do most things that our manager requests.
![Page 11: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Authority
![Page 13: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Commitment
We have a deep desire to be consistent. For this reason, once we've committed to something, we're then more inclined to go through with it.
![Page 14: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example: Foot-in-the-door
![Page 15: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Example: Low-balling
![Page 16: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Liking
Cialdini says that we're more likely to be influenced by people we like. Likability comes in many forms – people might be similar or familiar to us, they might give us compliments, or we may just simply trust them.
![Page 17: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Liking
![Page 18: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Reciprocity
Reciprocation recognises that peoplefeel indebted to those who dosomething for them or give them a gift.
Due to social norms people will return a favor when one is granted to them.
![Page 19: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Scarcity
The less there is of something, the more valuable it is. The more rare and uncommon a thing, the more people want it.
![Page 26: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Scarcity

Social proof
![Page 28: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Social proof
"safety in numbers." We're particularly susceptible to this principle when we're feeling uncertain, and we're even more likely to be influenced if the people we see seem to be similar to us.

So much stuff!
What will we focus on?
![Page 34: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
According to Cialdini, what are compliance techniques based on?
Commitment: Making people commit to something means that they will encounter personal and interpersonal pressure to behave consistently with that commitment.
Examples:•Foot-in-the –door•Low-balling•Hazing (only very briefly)
![Page 35: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The foot-in-the-door technique• A compliance technique
whereby a small request is made first and is then followed up with a larger one
• If asked to sign a petition first then more likely to comply when next asked to make a donation
![Page 36: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Dickerson et al 1992• University students were asked to conserve water in
the dormitory showers.• First Request: to sign a poster supporting shorter
showers to save water.• Second Request: take a survey designed to make them
think about their water wastage.• Data Collection: Shower time was monitored• Results: • Participants spent an average of 3.5 minutes less time
in the shower than the control group (no signature/survey).

Commitment
Freedman and Fraser’s 1966
![Page 38: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Low-balling• A compliance technique in which a lower offer is
made than is actually intended to be charged, and when commitment is elicited, it is replaced with a higher offer on the pretence that the lower one could not be honoured.
• Used by salespeople, who say they have to check the offer made to you with their manager and then get back to you saying they have to offer a slightly higher price.
![Page 39: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Why does low-balling work?: Commitment
• Once a commitment has been made you are likely to follow through with it even if the conditions change somewhat
• Commitment to an individual seems more important than committing to the behaviour;
• if the ‘sales-manager’ takes over the negotiating , the customer is more likely to pull out than if the original salesperson continues with the deal (Burger and Petty 1981)
![Page 40: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Why does low-balling work: Cognitive dissonance
• Having made a decision to purchase something (following the low offer), we justify the decision to ourselves; we are not just being rash because it seems like a bargain, we actually do need this item!
• If the item is then re-offered at a higher price, we will experience an uncomfortable state called cognitive dissonance if we then decide to pull out (suggesting that we did only want the item because it was a bargain)
• We are more likely to continue with the deal, making our behaviour consistent with our attitude (we really do need this item)
![Page 41: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The 7a.m. Start, Cialdini et al (1978)• Control group: When asked whether they would
participate in a psychology experiment that started at 7 am only 24% complied
• Lowballing group: When asked whether they would participate in an psychology experiment, but were not told a time, 56% complied; later they were told that it started at 7 am and given the chance to drop out if they wanted, 95% of the 56% turned up as promised.
![Page 42: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
According to Cialdini, what are compliance techniques based on?
Reciprocity: People often feel they need to “return a favour”. This example of a social norm is based on the reciprocity principle.
Example:•Door-in-the-face technique
![Page 43: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Reciprocity
• Lynn and McCall (1998)When restaurant customers are given a mint or
sweet with their bill, the size of the tip increases.
• Regan (1971)Participants who received a perceived favour
would be more likely to help them
![Page 44: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Reciprocity does not always involve giving gifts. It can also be because one feels that the other person has already compromised on what they wanted. This compromise should be acknowledged with some behaviour.
![Page 45: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Door-in-the-face technique
• A compliance technique in which a large request (which is expected to be turned down) is made first and is then followed up by a more reasonable request
![Page 46: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Example
• Someone calls asking for a large donation to a charity which is likely to be refused, they then ask for a smaller donations;
• This has proved to be far more effective than asking straight out for the same small donation.
![Page 47: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Cialdini et al (1975)• Control Group 1: Pps were approached
and asked to escort a group of juvenile delinquents to the zoo; most refused.
• Control Group 2: Pps were approached and asked to spend 2 hours per week as a peer counsellor to juvenile delinquent children for around 2 years; all refused
• Experimental Group (the DITF): asked to be peer counsellors and then asked to escort children to the zoo.
![Page 48: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Results• Control Group 1: Posing as representatives of the “Country Youth
Counselling Program”, university students were asked if they would be willing to chaperone a group of Juvenile delinquents on a day trip to the zoo only 17% complied.
• Control Group 2: Students were asked to work as counsellors (for the JD’s) for up to 2 hours per week for a minimum of two years. No one complied!
• DITF Group: When the above refusal was followed up with the zoo trip request this time there was 50% compliance.
![Page 49: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• Also tested whether the two requests needed to be done by the same requester in order to achieve compliance. With two different requesters only 10.5% complied.
![Page 50: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Evaluating DITF• Many studies support its effectiveness• Evidence suggests it is more effective than FITD• Why does it work?
– The norm of reciprocity– The lion with the thorn in its foot– Help those who help you; – cultural conditioning: salesman makes concession, you feel
compelled to do the same– Regan (1971) More people bought raffle tickets from a person
who had previously bought them a soft drink than from someone who had not bought them a drink
– Norm of Reciprocity is stronger than overall liking for the person making the request. People bought just as many raffle tickets from a confederate that they didn’t like as those who liked him.
![Page 51: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
This example shows failure of the ‘door in the face’ technique.
![Page 52: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Finally! The ‘That’s not all’ technique
• A compliance technique in which extras are added to an initial offer, often as apparently spontaneous gestures of generosity
![Page 53: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• Burger (1986) Field experiment– 2 Experimenters manned a cupcake stall at a cake sale– cupcakes were displayed without a price– When Pps asked how much a cupcakes were they were
either told:• “75cents and you get two free cookies” (40% bought cakes)• or... “75cents “ and then the second experimenter whispered
something to the first who then said, “and you get two free cookies” (73% bought the cakes)
![Page 54: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Why does the TNA work?
• Norm of reciprocity but only if you perceive the salesperson’s concessions to be voluntary/spontaneous
• Perceptual contrast – initial offer (the cake) acts as an anchor/baseline, against which we compare the second offer (cupcake plus cookies) which suddenly seems much more impressive
![Page 55: Discuss the use of compliance techniques. What is compliance? Compliance is the modification of behaviour from direct pressure to respond to a request](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b6b7f8b9ab0599b3605/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Which method is most effective
• Low-balling may be more effective than either FITD or DITF (Brownstein and Katvez (1985)– Pps asked to donate to a museum fund under four
conditions FITD, DITF, control): LB was most effective; the others were all similar
