Abstract in brief

  • The study identified six manipulation tactics—charm, silent treatment, coercion, reason, regression, and debasement—that people use to influence others, with charm being more common for encouraging actions and coercion or silent treatment for stopping actions.
  • These tactics vary based on individual personality traits like Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Agreeableness, and tend to be consistent across different situations and sources of observation.
  • The findings suggest that understanding manipulation tactics can help link personality traits to social behavior, contributing to theories about how people and their environments interact in psychology.]

@ROGERJACK18_ @starlenade You can't possibly be stupid enough to not have understood what I meant. What I'm comparing are the real-life tactics of manipulation governments use to justify genocide with the arguments people use to justify Adam and Lute's actions, genius. Not Palestinians and demons.

#ParadigmShift most of the citizenry is simply not able to see through the distractions, narratives and tactics of manipulation and control. patriarchy has conditioned these humans to normalize/suppress abuse and see it as their faith to obey without even seeing it that way.

DONALD TRUMP IS A SMART MAN (hear me out). He recognized a hatred towards minorities by many people in the country and became a beacon to vocalize that hatred in order to get votes. He was smart enough to use hate. His tactics of manipulation worked on the weak minded, uneducated, and bigots.
