Manipulation Techniques

Manipulation techniques are strategies used to influence or control others’ thoughts, feelings, or actions often subtly or indirectly. They may involve tactics like appealing to emotions, withholding information, exploiting guilt, or creating a false sense of urgency to sway decisions. Recognizing these techniques helps individuals make informed choices and avoid being unduly influenced. Such methods can occur consciously or unconsciously in personal, professional, or marketing contexts and aim to steer behavior for a specific outcome, sometimes benefiting the manipulator at the expense of others.
