Participants were asked to either complete a survey (Experiment 1) or to allow a stranger to borrow their mobile phone to make a call (Experiment 2). Half of the requests involved language that evoked freedom (“feel free to say no”). In both experiments, results showed significantly greater compliance in the “feel free to say no” condition.1 pageen-USAttribution-NoDerivs 3.0 United Statessocial influence tacticsevoking freedomfield experimentcomplianceText
