If you don't want to become a victim of manipulation, you need to be able to recognize it.
In this article we have collected some of the most common techniques.
Mutual exchange technique
If you want to ask a person for something, he will most likely fulfill it if you have previously rendered him some service.
Double request
This is another technique that you can use if you want to ask someone for something. You should first ask for more than you want to receive.
Anchor Technique
When you hear phrases like “most people donated X amount of dollars” or “most employees work Y hours per week,” you start to subconsciously attach yourself to these numbers and are unlikely to want to stand out from the “average crowd.”
Attractiveness
It is much more difficult for you to refuse someone you find attractive. This technique can also be used for manipulation.
