a.compliance.
b.conformity.
c.attribution.
d.obedience.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. Compliance

Explanation:

In psychology, the term compliance refers to a type of social influence where someone has a request and the other person does what this person wants them to do (the difference with obedience is that when there's obedience there's an order, when there's compliance there is a request).

In this example, Cedric has a request: to have next Thursday off. His boss agrees to this request (Cedric is not ordering his boss to do anything, he's just requesting something) and therefore, this is an example of compliance.
