In the Stanford Prison Experiment and The Milgram experiment. Name two persuasion techniques utilized in these studies, were the techniques effective?

Please explain.

Answer 1

1. The foot-in-the-door technique (or FITD) is a strategy used to persuade people to agree to a particular action, based on the idea that if a respondent will comply with an small initial request then they will be more likely to agree to a later, more significant, request, which they would not have agreed to had they been asked it outright.

Both the experiment use dit to persuade eithe rthe prisoners or teachers

2.

Commitment & Consistency

Principle: People are prone to be consistent in their actions and beliefs. If you make a person commit to something small, you could use the initial commitment to influence them into doing more for you.

The perisoners and tecahers after committing small crime were committed to do more harm.
