While working as a graduate student in Chicago, Andria Zafirakou was given the much exhausting job of collecting survey data in Ellis Ave.as part of an academic research project. 1 she approached a passer-by, she thought she would hear them tell her how annoyed they were. Yet the bad responses 2 came, many more people were 3 to answer the questionnaires than she had 4 .
Was it possible, she wondered, that most of us are wrong about 5 people want to respond to our requests Over the following decade, she conducted multiple studies that 6 this was indeed the case: under many different 7 , people are often far more likely to 8 than we assume.

People often agree to do what they are asked because they find it too 16 to say no, even when they feel uncomfortable with our 17 .
