In social psychology, there is little research concerning immunizing against techniques of social influence. The experiment presented in this paper aims to
fill this gap. The purpose of this research was to demonstrate that self-affirmation connected with a positive feedback reduces the vulnerability to the "door-in-the-face" technique (reinforced self-affirmation effect). As a result of the presented study, the general effectiveness of the "door-in-the-face" technique was replicated. It was also found that reinforced self-affrmation reduces the efficacy of this technique: the tendency to fulfill the target request among people who underwent the reinforced self-affrmation technique was not greater than in the control group. It was also found that the vulnerability to the "door-in-the-face" technique in the group in which the self-affirmation was followed by a negative feedback did not differ from the control group. In sum, the results obtained support the hypothesis that enhanced self-confidence, caused by the reinforced self-affirmation, reduces the vulnerability to social influence,
exerted by the "door-in-the-face" technique.
