Often people tend to agree to a smaller request of someone and then agree to another larger request based on this. Conversely, if someone makes a larger request to others from the beginning, then the probability of his being rejected will increase greatly,. The most likely implicit premise for this phenomenon is:. ['People who split the request into two will be more welcome.', 'People who are very demanding when they come will be very annoying.', 'People think that people who ask for small things are kind, so it ’s okay to agree to another one.', 'Usually smaller requirements are easier for people to do, and people tend to maintain self-consistency.']
