The present study explored the effects of compliance-inducing method, the number of request, the sex and the attitude of the subject towards the prevention of smoke belching on compliance. This experimental research design used convenience sampling with random assignment in choosing 323 DLSU freshmen as samples of the study. The subjects included were from the Colleges of Liberal Arts, Business and Economics, Science and Engineering. The College of Computer Science was not represented. The subjects were first given an attitude test. After a week or so, they were asked to go to the Cognitive Psychology Laboratory for the experiment. The experiment consists of two parts: the mock and the real experiment. Deception or the mock experiment was necessary for the study. Chi-square test for Independent samples was used for statistical analysis. Results of the study showed no significant difference among the variables used, which may imply that DLSU freshmen are compliant regardless of variables.
