PsyOps

Psychological Operations (PsyOps) refer to strategic efforts aimed at influencing people's emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to achieve specific objectives, often in military or political contexts. These operations use various methods, such as propaganda, misinformation, and psychological tactics, to sway public opinion, demoralize opponents, or support friendly populations. The goal is to shape perceptions and attitudes without direct confrontation, leveraging communication and media to create desired outcomes. PsyOps can be used in wartime for psychological advantage or in peacetime for diplomatic strategies and public relations efforts.
