What does a high probability request sequence aim to achieve?

A high probability request sequence is a strategy used to increase the likelihood of compliance by starting with easier tasks that the individual is more likely to complete successfully. This approach builds momentum and increases the chance of a positive response when a more difficult task is eventually presented. By establishing a pattern of success with high-probability requests, individuals are more likely to engage with and complete the subsequent, more challenging requests.

This method leverages the positive reinforcement gained from successfully completing easier tasks to enhance confidence and compliance when faced with more complex or demanding activities. It does not focus solely on complex tasks or encourage delaying tasks; instead, it strategically sets up an environment where small successes can lead to tackling more challenging ones.
