I'm trying to explain a situation where a person gives another person something they want, but withholds a key aspect of the thing in order to keep the person wanting more. Sort of like keeping a piece of meat dangling in front of them. I feel like there's some kind of official psychological/philosophical concept or name for this activity, but I can't think of what it is. Anyone know?
-
Motivation? Manipulation? Meanness? Maliciousness?
The last three come from my wife who has her Master's in Marriage & Family Therapy, and majored in psychology.
She also asks, 'What is the purpose behind Person A dangling the carrot in front of Person B?'
-
Darn! There is a specific technical name for this type of situation. I can't for the life of me remember what it is!
-
carrot-and-stick method.
-
Suspense
-
Dependence, Control, and a cosign on Manipulation

DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need her help.
Can you make the connection? Nothing major. Just need to pick her brain, as that's the field I'm going into but I don't want to do the Master's, I want to go straight into the PhD - which is proving really difficult.... *sigh*

bait and hook model for marketing
you guy buy a ps3 but you have to continue paying $60 a game to enjoy it
from wikipedia
"This involves offering a basic product at a very low cost, often at a loss (the "bait"), then charging compensatory recurring amounts for refills or associated products or services (the "hook"). Examples include: razor (bait) and blades (hook); cell phones (bait) and air time (hook); computer printers (bait) and ink cartridge refills (hook); and cameras (bait) and prints (hook). An interesting variant of this model is Adobe, a software developer that gives away its document reader free of charge but charges several hundred dollars for its document writer."
i also call it courting... you take the girl out but your not supposed to get any goodies until marriage
