Question 1 • Summer 26 - Communication Applications ADV

Which of the following is an example of the foot-in-the-door method of asking for change?

Answer
A
“If you are interested in helping our cause today, you can donate as little as $1!”
B
“Can I please have $200 for a new outfit to wear on my date this weekend?”
C
“Regardless of how you felt earlier today, the only logical thing to do at this point is immediately sign up to join our cause!”
D
“I’ll be happy to help out this Saturday, if you’ll be available to help me on Sunday.”

Explanation

The foot-in-the-door method begins with a small, easy request to encourage agreement, which can make someone more likely to agree to a larger request later. Offering the option to donate as little as $1 is a small initial request. Asking for $200 is a large request, while choice d describes a reciprocal exchange.
