Reactance is a motivation that occurs in response to an attempt to limit freedom such as freedom of choice, expression or privacy. People tend to be highly motivated to preserve their freedom and may react negatively to commands, rules or actions that are perceived as a threat to certain individual freedoms. Reactance has implications for leadership, management, sales, marketing and other domains that depend on social influence.

For example, a car salesperson may walk a customer through a carefully designed set of choices intended to guide the customer towards selecting expensive options.|
