What is persuasion?
“A symbolic process in which communicators try to convince other people to change their
attitudes or behavior regarding an issue through the transmission of a message in an
atmosphere of free choice.”
What is resistance?
- Resistance can be defined as a reaction involving opposition to an idea or
unwillingness to comply with a given directive/request that is perceived as harmful,
problematic, unbelievable or negative emotion inducing.

an attempt of persuasion.

use to try the convince others.

psychological reactance can result.

Indirect restoration: liking threatened choice, source derogation,
denying the threat, exercising a related freedom.
o Measurement of reactance:
Important to meausure threat: idea of feeling threated, but it can also
happen without being threatened. Was there really a reactance? If you
want to make this sure, then you need to ask if people feel threatened.

, o People use and develop persuasion knowledge because they are
motivated to hold valid attitudes (= accuracy motivation).
