Coercive behavior

Coercive behavior refers to actions that involve using intimidation, threats, or force to make someone comply with demands or expectations. This can occur in various settings, such as personal relationships, workplaces, or broader societal contexts. The main idea is that one party seeks to control another by creating fear or exerting pressure, often undermining the victim's autonomy. Coercive behavior can be psychological or physical, and it is typically viewed as harmful and unethical, as it violates an individual's right to make their own choices freely.
