Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research in social psychology has shown that people are more likely to comply with requests for various reasons. Statement A refers to findings from studies like those by Langer et al. (1978), which showed that even when no real reason is provided ("because I have to make copies"), compliance can still be achieved if the request is minor. Statement B highlights that the mere appearance of providing a reason ("because") can increase compliance, even if the reason is not substantial. Statement C is broadly supported by numerous studies indicating that providing a legitimate reason increases the likelihood of compliance. Therefore, all these statements reflect different aspects of how and why compliance can be achieved, making D the most accurate choice.
