Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eleanor can create a positive attitude by emphasizing the importance of producing a high-quality final team project and by highlighting the benefits of putting in the extra effort. By focusing on the positive aspects of doing a great job, she might be able to motivate Jerome to work harder. Emotional blackmail (B) would likely create resentment and not be effective in the long run. Showing behavioral intent (C) might not be enough to motivate Jerome, as he may not see the importance of putting in the extra effort. Expressing emotional dissonance (D) would likely create confusion and does not provide a clear direction for Jerome. Enforcing cognitive dissonance (E) is not a suitable option as this would only create mental discomfort and potentially cause resistance.
