The mere mention of the word "favor" can stun us into compliance, which answers a question staffers often ask themselves: How did I get roped into this? 仅仅提到“帮忙”这个词就能吓得我们乖乖从命了,这也回答了很多人常常问自己的一个问题:我是怎么给套进去的? Stanford's Prof. Flynn found that simply asking people to fill out a questionnaire in New York's Penn Station resulted in 57% compliance. But prefacing that question with the phrase, "Can you do me a favor?" followed by a pause pushed the level of compliance to 84%. |
