Evaluating
Reactive Devaluation
Reactive devaluation could be caused by loss aversion or attitude polarization, or naïve realism. Reactive devaluation can reduce our empathy toward others causing a negative expereince.
For Example
Sarah and her next-door neighbor have had an ongoing feud for years, exhausting her with disputes over property lines, garbage collection, noise, and upkeep. One day, her neighbor proposes an agreement. Although Sarah sees potential benefits, she is skeptical, thinking it must unfairly favor him. Despite having discussed a similar agreement with her husband, she declines the offer. Her negative perception of her neighbor and distrust in the proposal ultimately worsen their relationship and prolong the conflict.

The Evidence
Impact of Source Bias on Public Support for Nuclear Arms Reduction During the Cold War
During the Cold War, U.S. citizens were surveyed about their support for a drastic bilateral nuclear arms reduction program. The results indicated that respondents were significantly more likely to support the proposal if they were told it originated from the U.S. rather than from the USSR. This demonstrates the impact of source bias on public opinion, where the perceived origin of a proposal influences its acceptance.

Renascence Advice
When leveraging the understanding of reactive devaluation in customer engagement, it is crucial to balance its implications with potential drawbacks. Recognizing that proposals from opposing or less trusted sources may be devalued helps in framing communications more effectively. By ensuring that valuable offers are presented through neutral or positively perceived channels, businesses can mitigate the negative impact of reactive devaluation and enhance acceptance rates. However, if not managed carefully, this can lead to overemphasis on source credibility and neglect of proposal substance, potentially fostering a manipulative approach.
