Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypocrisy induction involves highlighting the discrepancy between what a person claims to believe or value and their actual behaviors. This strategy aims to increase self-awareness and provoke cognitive dissonance, which can motivate a person to change their behavior to be more consistent with their stated attitudes or values. The other options (scarcity manipulation, cognitive control, and the one-person trap) do not accurately describe this strategy.
