Question 1
Why does the
bystander effect take place?
◦ Moral apathy
◦ Callous insensitivity
◦ Diffusion of responsibility
◦ Unknown causes
Question 2
Why does the foot-in-the-door technique of persuasion work?
◦ Honoring an initial small request creates an internal need to maintain consistency by honoring a subsequent larger request.
◦ Refusing an initial small request creates an urge to be "helpful" by complying with a later larger request.
◦ Refusing an initial large request reduces dissonance produced by a later smaller request.
◦ Honoring an initial small request produces a social stigma that one is gullible and easily persuaded.
