Answer to Question 1

Answer: In some way, you would need to have his or her father do you a favor. For instance, asking him for change to help pay for a purchase, or asking to borrow a book of his, or asking him to help you move heavy furniture or carry something to your room for you would be possible examples of using the Ben Franklin effect in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: By engaging in self-justification strategies, a cycle may be created in which someone perceives others as wrong or worthy of punishment rather than using mistakes to change and improve one's own behavior. Instead of simply trying to justify one's actions, it would be more beneficial to reflect on one's own mistakes and use this information to change one's own behavior.
