This study examined the effects of resister's motives on the use of complianceresisting strategies. University students (n=228) completed a questionnaires about the likelihood of use of compliance-resisting strategies and resister's motives. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the motive for the use of compliance-resisting strategies could be classified into three types: refusal motive, self-others consideration motive, or relationship management motive. Then, covariance structure analysis indicated that refusal motive increased explicit refusal, and decreased compensation. Self-others consideration motive increased compensation, modesty, and nonverbal refusal, and decreased explicit refusal.
