  • 1.  Scales on social influence, compliance and internalization

    Posted 05-15-2008 13:06
    I'm looking for scale on 'acceptance of social influence', like
    acceptance due to compliance or acceptance due to internalization. I
    haven't been able to find validated scales that measure compliance and
    internalization. Any suggestions?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I would try writing directly to Cialdini as someone who follows a lot of
    different lines of work on social influence. It may help to clarify: Do
    you mean the perception, by the target of influence, that he or she has
    been influenced and in which manner (compliance, internalization, etc.)?

    Depending on what you are after, it might be relevant to measure the
    influence tactics that the target perceives to have been directed at him
    or her. To a large degree these could be mapped to compliance based,
    internalization based etc. by drawing upon the reference to Raven in my
    paper posted at:

    which should be equivalent to

    Good luck
