  • The Difficulty of Making Reparations Affects the Intensity of Collective Guilt

    Open AccessMichael T Schmitt, Daniel A Miller et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2008Citada por: 10Referencias: 7

    We examined how the difficulty of making reparations for the harm done to another group affects the intensity of collective guilt. Men were confronted with information documenting male privilege and were told that they would have a chance to help women and reduce patriarchy by collecting signatures on a petition. We manipulated the difficulty of making reparations by asking participants to collect 5, 50, or 100 signatures. As predicted by Brehm's…

  • Reactance Theory - 40 Years Later

    Anca M Miron, Jack W BrehmARTICLEZeitschrift für Sozialpsychologie2006

    In this paper we review the basic assumptions formulated by Jack Brehm in 1966 in his theory of psychological reactance and we sample some interesting directions of research on reactance that have been carried out by social psychologists during the last 40 years. We conclude that although there has been impressive development in the reactance research, more exciting avenues of investigation lie ahead. Throughout the paper we outline some of these…

  • Internalization of Multiple Perspectives or Dissonance Reduction

    Open AccessRobert A Wicklund, Jack W BrehmARTICLETheory & Psychology2004

    In numerous research programs based on the concept of cognitive dissonance, participants play a role that is ostensibly in conflict with their pre-existing values. A strict reading of dissonance theory (Festinger, 1957) leads us to suppose that these role-playing, or ‘forced compliance’, procedures generally create results that are not implied by the theory. We spell out a theoretical position that comes to terms with these effects of role-playin…

  • Evidence that the production of aversive consequences is not necessary to create cognitive dissonance

    Eddie Harmon-Jones, Jack W Brehm et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1996Citada por: 16

    The present authors hypothesized, in contrast to I influential revision ofcognitive dissonance theory, that the production of aversive consequences is not necessary to create cognitive dissonance and that cognitive dissonance will occur even when aversive consequences are not produced. In Experiment l, participants drank a pleasant- or unpleasant-tasting beverage and were given high or low choice to write a sentence that said they liked the bever…

  • Trivialization

    Linda Simon, Jeff Greenberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1995Citada por: 42

    Trivialization as a mode of dissonance reduction and the conditions under which it is likely to occur were explored in 4 studies. Study 1 tested and supported the hypothesis that when the preexisting attitude is made salient, participants will trivialize the dissonant cognitions rather than change their attitudes. Study 2 tested and supported the hypothesis that following a counterattitudinal behavior, participants will choose the first mode of d…

  • Hostility as a function of the opportunity to counteraggress 1

    Open AccessJohn B Nezlek, John Nezlek et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality1975

    Half of the subjects, college students, were insulted by the experimenter while half were not. Within each of these conditions, half of the subjects were led to believe they would have an opportunity to administer electric shock to the experimenter, while the other half were not. A measure of hostility toward the experimenter was taken before there was any actual opportunity to shock him. As predicted from reactance theory, it was found that the …

  • Effect of importance of freedom and attraction to group members on influence produced by group pressure

    Jack W Brehm, Milard MannARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1975Citada por: 10Referencias: 4

    An analysis of group influence processes indicates that the functional relationship between attraction to a group and influence exerted by the group depends on the importance to the individual member of any freedom that is threatened by group pressure to conform. This proposition was tested by an experiment in which the effect of group conformity pressure on public and private opinions was measured under two levels of attraction to the group cros…

  • Attitude Change from an Implied Threat to Attitudinal Freedom

    John Sensenig, Jack W BrehmARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1968Citada por: 6

    College students were told they were to write an essay supporting 1 or the other side on each of S issues, and were led to believe they might be able to influence the decision about which side of an attiudinal issue they were to support. In all cases they were then told to support the side (either pro or con) they initially preferred, and postmeasures were then obtained before the actual writing. Those who were given the impression that their pre…

  • Effect of a favor which reduces freedom

    Jack W Brehm, Ann H ColeARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1966Citada por: 19

    The purpose was to show that when a favor reduces a person's freedom, it arouses psychological reactance, a motivational state aimed at restoration of this freedom. Ss, run individually, learned they were to make Ist-imprcssion ratings of another S (confederate) and then were given a soft drink by this S, prior to making the ratings. In a 2 X 2 design, the Ist-imprcssion ratings were given low or high importance, and I of each importance group re…
