Over the weekend, you are going to meet your new romantic partner's parents for the first time. In particular, you want your partner's father to like you. How might you use the Ben Franklin effect to get him to like you more?

Be sure you include an example.
What will be an ideal response?


Answer: In some way, you would need to have his or her father do you a favor. For instance, asking him for change to help pay for a purchase, or asking to borrow a book of his, or asking him to help you move heavy furniture or carry something to your room for you would be possible examples of using the Ben Franklin effect in this situation.
