Some but not all of them might just do it to appease/shut up the whining one. So there is still a higher conversion rate from taking the whining approach.
So why don't we all whine?
This I have asked of shouting. Normally I politely ask people to do things with a friendly tone of voice. However there have been moments, e.g. on-coming car catastrophe, where I have shouted at people and been surprised at how quickly people move or do as they are told. Shocked at being heard and being 'obeyed' I have wondered why I don't do it more often. I dismiss the idea as it is not me and contradicts many aspects of my upbringing. But you can see how it is that some people get what they want in the world by shouting/whining or being a general narcissist.
- darpa_escapee 8y agoI believe that's because we reserve shouting as a signal during dire situations. It's kind of like the color red, where we give it an inherent dangerous meaning naturally, but see it enough everyday and your heart will no longer instinctually flutter when exposed to it. Having lived with a person who is hearing impaired, the effects of shouting on reflexive action will dissipate after the first week.
- bena 8y agoI think it just triggers something in us. Both whining and shouting. They suggest some form of distress and that waffling may not be a good idea. Just like we're kind of hard-wired to think babies are cute.
