Question

Parker has just been named Employee of the Month at the grocery store where she works and is delighted. Coincidentally, her younger brother, Marty, decides to ask her for $20 so he can take his girlfriend to the movies. Compared to any other day, Parker would be ________ likely to comply with his request today, because ________ compliance.

Answer 1

Answer: More; Positive mood increases compliance.

Explanation: If Marty had asked for $ 20 for a movie with his girlfriend any other day, he would have put more effort into it than the day Parker was named Employee of the Month, because of positive feeling and happiness, compliance increased. It is even greater compliance than Parker is in a neutral mood, therefore everyday, as usual. Of course the compliance would have been even less if Parker had received this request from her brother when she was in a negative mood.
