Question

Anya needs $500 to help pay for a trip to Europe. She calls her parents and asks if they will give her $5,000 for her trip, and they say no. She then asks if she can have just $500, and they say yes. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the ________ technique.

Answer 1

The answer is: reciprocal concessions technique

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocal concessions (or Door in the face) technique is used by an individual (Anya) that tries to persuade or convince someone else (parent) to comply with a large request ($5,000) knowing that their request will probably be rejected. Then they make a second, more reasonable, request that the other party is more likely to accept or agree ($500).
