forced compliance

Definition

The use of authority rather than persuasion to prompt a change in behavior. Some psychologists believe that forced compliance is more likely to change attitudes than persuasion. The theory behind this is that some individuals will justify doing something they dislike by telling themselves their attitude has changed.
