Abstract
Reactance theory was formulated to deal with certain phenomena of social influence (Brehm, 1966; Brehm & Brehm, 1981; Wicklund, 1974). It held that people believe they have specific behavioral freedoms, and when those freedoms are threatened or eliminated in any way, the individual becomes motivated (reactance) to reinstate them.
