Bgp - set as path

i am aware that A BGP speaker can influence the best path selection by
a peer by varying the length of the autonomous system path. If i have
a statement like
route-map ISP-IN permit 10
set as-path prepend 56324 56324 56324 56324 56324

and

neighbor 54.134.156.9 route-map ISP-IN in

am i actually making the neighbor 54.134.156.9 using route-map isp-in
more or less attractive, in recieving inbound traffic to my router.
Thanks

Wrong direction. Should be "route-map <map name> out"

And the answer to the question is that you're making it less attractive.
Shorter AS paths are preferred.
