Ihor has been in the army for almost two years. he has gone through boot camp, learned drill, and now is able to do much automatically and without hesitation when commanded to do so. he is likely to risk his life when ordered to. this process is a good example of __________ applied to obedience.

Answer 1

This is the "foot-in-the-door" technique. This shows that, if a smaller command has been obeyed by a person, the person giving the commands can increase the complexity and scope of the commands to a point where they can eventually get the trainee to undertake the large-scale action that was originally intended.
