Abstract
Many studies in the sphere of message production have examined the compliance-gaining approach. Drawing on the assumption of the compliance-gaining tradition that there are various strategies involved in the production of a message when the goal of a message sender is geared towards influencing the message receiver, this study assesses the various compliance-gaining strategies used by international students in the United States when seeking compliance from fellow international students as members of an ingroup as opposed to when seeking same from domestic students as members of an outgroup. By performing a paired sample t-test on data collected from 43 subjects on how to ask for rides, this study found that with the exception of socially unacceptable compliance-gaining strategies such as debt, negative esteem, negative self- feeling, and moral appeal which are not usually engaged with both groups, strategies engaged within ingroups and for outgroups when requesting for car rides significantly differ.
