Imagine that you are walking inside the mall and you come across a person asking for signatures on a petition for a cause that you support. The person asks if you would be willing to sign the document, to which you agree, but then asks if you would be willing to volunteer your time to collect signatures as well, and you find yourself agreeing again. What technique did the person use to get you to agree to both requests

they are attracting you by one thing which you support to make you help them too.

The technique that they used to get you to agree to both requests would be convincing the other person by putting more emotion to the requests and in a way it could seen as a way of begging for you to help for the cause, but you wouldn't turn it down because of the fact that you have support for this and you dont want to make it seem as if you dont support this certain thing or as if you have no sympathy for this cause. So they persuaded you in short terms.
