Recent coverage
New York University in third-party press
At a New York university copier, adding “because I have to make copies” raised agreement to a small favour from 60% to 93% — for a bigger favour, agreement was 24% with or without the explanation, leaving the redundant explanation no better than asking without a reason.

In the press
Recent coverage mentioning New York University from third-party publications. Automatically surfaced; not part of the verified registry record.
At a New York university copier, adding “because I have to make copies” raised agreement to a small favour from 60% to 93% — for a bigger favour, agreement was 24% with or without the explanation, leaving the redundant explanation no better than asking without a reason.
A redundant explanation helped with a small copier request, but showed no advantage for a bigger favour. The original conditions matter when interpreting the famous finding.
