Answer:
Door in face
Explanation:
In psychology, the door in face technique is a method of persuasion according to which the persuader tries to convince other person to comply to a large request (which the other person will likely say no to), then, the persuader makes a significantly smaller request and then the other person is likely to say yes.
It's been observed that using this technique the other person is most likely to accept the smaller request than if the request had been presented by its own at first (without the large request first).
In this example, Oscar wants to go to the movies by himself, however he asks his mom if he can go on a trip to the Rollercoaster Park and he already knows the answer will be no. We can see that<u> Oscar is making a </u><u>large</u><u> request and that his mom will say no to this one, but this wasn't even what Oscar really wants to do.</u> However, after this is asked, <u>he asks if he can at least go to the movies by himself (and which is what he actually wanted to ask)</u>. This second request is significantly smaller than the first one and her mom says yes. Therefore, this is an example of the door-in-face technique.
Answer: Obedience to authority
Explanation: Obedience to authority is behavior that is part of social influence or in the context of social influence, and occurs when a certain person is subordinate to that influence in the form of following instructions and orders given by superiors. It is a behavior that is often reluctant to accept, but is accepted as is the case with Michael. Acceptance of such behavior and social influence is somewhat understandable because there is a fear of superiors and their reactions if Michael did not execute the instruction of a superior.

The theory which states that when there are multiple possible explanatons of an event or a phenomenon, the simplest is the best would be Occam's razor.
However, it's important to note that this idea actually states that we shouldn't necessarily multiply ontological entities, which doesn't really mean the easiest solution necessarily.
