Outline

• Door-in-the-face technique
• Research developments
• Discussion/applications
![Page 3: Pre-Request Tactics. Outline Foot-in-the-door technique Door-in-the-face technique Research developments Discussion/applications](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649f515503460f94c73b4e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Sequence Check List
• As usual, we consider the technique sequence– Interactional context– Commencement of interaction– Request– Compliance Implication Cues– Schedule & deadline– Compliance test– Opportunity– Consequences
![Page 4: Pre-Request Tactics. Outline Foot-in-the-door technique Door-in-the-face technique Research developments Discussion/applications](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649f515503460f94c73b4e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Sequence Check List
• Today’s techniques– Have two sequences of note
![Page 5: Pre-Request Tactics. Outline Foot-in-the-door technique Door-in-the-face technique Research developments Discussion/applications](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649f515503460f94c73b4e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Foot-in-the-Door
• Small then large request
• Pretest—high PFC
• FITD– Sign a petition for the homeless– Control
• Large request– Donate time to canned food drive– Reminder vs no reminder

Control Foot-in-the-doorCompliance technique
Prior helpfulness focus
No prior helpfulness focus
Percentage of participants that complied with the large (target) request as a function of compliance technique and presence versus absence helpfulness focus. Participants on their way to a laboratory site were approached and asked to sign a petition or were not given this request. Later, they were given the target request, to spend time volunteering for a canned food drive, with or without the reminder question, “Are you a helpful person?”. The combination of the request and the reminder produced a notably elevated level of compliance with the target request.

Door-in-the-Face
• Nature of the technique– Proposed account
• Three experimental conditions– Confederate approached participant with
request(s)• DITF• Perceptual contrast• Control
![Page 15: Pre-Request Tactics. Outline Foot-in-the-door technique Door-in-the-face technique Research developments Discussion/applications](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649f515503460f94c73b4e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Door-in-the-Face
• Large request– We’re currently recruiting university students to work as
voluntary, unpaid counselors at the County Juvenile Detention Center. The position could require two hours of your time per week for a minimum of two years. You would be working more in the line of a Big Brother (Sister) to one of the boys (girls) in the detention home. Would you be interested in being considered for one of these positions?
• Small request– We’re recruiting university students to chaperone a group of
boys (girls) from the County Juvenile Detention Center on a trip to the zoo. It would be voluntary, unpaid, and would require about two hours of one afternoon or evening. Would you be interested in being considered for one of these positions?

Figure 4.1: Multiple requests in social influence. One social influence sequence can serve as a context for a subsequent influence attempt. This sort of thing occurs in such techniques as foot-in-the-door. In these cases, an influence source engages a recipient in a formal interactional ritual. The outcome of this event serves as an important part of the context of a subsequent influence attempt.
