Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Active commitments increase compliance because people come to perceive themselves in part by examining their own actions, and thus the act of committing can change a person's self-image. Public commitments increase compliance because individuals often feel pressure to remain consistent with a decision when others can observe a possible change.
