Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the use of ""acceptance of forbidden position"" and ""acceptance of forced position"" as indices of psychological reactance.This study dealt with threats of attitude-consistent persuasion. Subjects were 82 university students who were eligible for this experiment, and they were randomly assigned to high and low threat conditions. We also prepared a control condition in which no persuasion was given. The procedures of the experiment were as follows: (1) pre-measurement of ependent variables, (2) manipulation of the threat variable and presentation of a persuasive message, (3) post-measurement of dependent variables. The main dependent variables were attitude change toward death with dignity, acceptance of various positions for death with dignity, and subjective responses to reactance (hostility toward to the sender, attractiveness of the forbidden behavior, and self-direction). The present study hypothesized that (1) subjects under the high threat condition would show less attitude change toward the advocated position than subjects under the low threat condition, (2) subjects under the high threat condition would show more subjective responses than subjects under the low threat condition, and (3) subjects under the high threat condition would show higher tendency in accepting ""forbidden position"" and lower tendency in accepting ""forced position"". However, our experimental results showed consistent with the hypothesis only for hostility toward the sender.
