Question

Candidate X is running for Senate, and she tells people that if she wins the election, she’ll make 10 big changes. Later in her campaign, she narrows this down to only three changes, but by then, several people have already decided to vote for her. Their decision to vote for her, in spite of the change from her original promise, is an example of which persuasion technique?

Answer 1

the foot-in-the-door technique

Step-by-step explanation:

"The foot-in-the-door technique" is a technique described in psychology, as agreeing people upon a large thing by agreeing in the smallest thing first.

It is the compliance strategy where people agree to do a large work or request by admitting to a modest request at the initial stage.

One example of "The foot-in-the-door principle" is ---

Asking a person to help oneself in doing shopping for the ingredients for a dish and later on asking the same person to help oneself in making the dish.

Thus the answer is "The foot-in-the-door technique".
