    Nice job explaining a wide range of techniques that all fall under the umbrella of consistency commitment.

    Commitment consistency is definitely a powerful influence on behavior and you cover a lot of important areas associated with it well. I wonder why this has such a powerful influence on our behavior. Culture certainly plays a role, but there must be other things too.
