Summary/Abstract: The article presents the validation procedure of the questionnaire to measure individual readiness to resist against unwanted social impact. One of the aims of the research was to design a tool for use in the academic education context. The conceptualization was based on literature relating to rebelliousness, negativism, reactance, disobedience and resistance against social influence. Consequently, it has been assumed that the variable is multidimensional. Results show that the tool measures four separate types of readiness to resist. Moreover, the validity and the reliability were satisfactory. The empirical data was collected in a series of investigations on a group of 653 people.
