Sažetak
The present study examined efficiency of "foot in the door" technique and the effect of "reminding" to blood donation. Participants were randomly assigned into 3 groups (N1=417, N2=202, N3=225) with different treatments. In the first group standard TRA/TPB questionnaires were applied ; the second group was presented with a version of "foot-in-the-door" technique, while the third was a control group. All participants were given a chance to subscribe a "promise card" to register for blood donation after filling in the questionnaires. To test the effect of reminding half of those who subscribed a "promise card" were reminded via a telephone call. The subscription of donor card is a stable predictor of blood donation. In the group of persons who subscribed a card, approximately 50% donates ; versus 6% in a non-subscribers group. "Foot in the door" and reminding manipulations significantly increased the number of donation.
