Mike is applying for a job in advertising. While he is out to dinner with the interviewer, Mike pulls out and lights an expensive cigar and offers one to the interviewer. Mike is using what tactic to increase his chances of getting the job

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Self enhancement

Explanation:

By offering an expensive cigar to the interviewer, Mike is using self enhancement technique. Self enhancement means creating an idea about how competent, reliable, wealthy and so on one is regardless of the reality. It involves distorting evidence of one's self to create a positive self-image.

It is the motive to increase the positivity of one's self view. Sometimes, self enhancement brings a false representation of one's self.
