When's The Best Time To Get A "Yes"?

The article was about whether or not people more inclined to say 'yes' to a question throughout different parts of the day. According to the article, more people are likely to say yes earlier on throughout the day and after eating. The percentage of people that will say 'no' is directly related to how hungry that person is.

This article interviewed a judge, and as shown by the graph, the judge said 'yes' directly after breaks where he ate food. Food breaks are shown with a dotted line and this graph starts immediately after breakfast.

Question:
Is there really a better time to ask someone to make a decision? Why or why not. If yes, when do you think this time is?

I think the best time to get someone to say yes is if they're in a very good mood and you ask politely.

I also agree that the best time to ask somone to make a decision is when they are in a more positive mood. however, I also think it depends on the person and how they handle different situations.

I do think that there is a better time to ask someone to make a decision. If that person is in a bad mood or they are busy doing something else then that would be a bad time to ask them to make a decision.

I do believe there are better times to ask someone to make a decision. I believe the best time to ask someone something is when they are in a good mood and aren't busy. By being in a good mood and aren't working on something they will give you a better answer. For many people like the judge food and break times helped him make more positive decisions, I believe this is true because us as people enjoy eating and the free time helps us clear our minds and the stressful situations that may take place during the day, or at the work place.

i dont agree with this. i usually ask my mother for things so ill use her as an example, the time that i ask her isnt a factor its whether or not shes in a good mood and someones mood could change within a matter of seconds. sonia
