Performed authenticity
The deliberate construction of "realness" — confessional tone, casual filming, strategic vulnerability — designed to lower your guard. When someone appears unpolished and honest, you evaluate their claims less critically. The spontaneity is rehearsed.

Viewer Guidance (2 tips)
Evaluate the ask
Calls to action follow emotional buildup. Consider whether the ask would feel as urgent without the preceding framing.
Consider alternative frames
Information is consistently shaped from one angle. Seek out how other sources present the same facts.
Technique Fingerprint (from knowledge graph)
Performed authenticity
AI detected as: Manufactured Authenticity
The deliberate construction of "realness" — confessional tone, casual filming, strategic vulnerability — designed to lower your guard. When someone appears unpolished and honest, you evaluate their claims less critically. The spontaneity is rehearsed.
Goffman's dramaturgy (1959); Audrezet et al. (2020) on performed authenticity
Forced equivalence
AI detected as: False Equivalence
Presenting two things as equally valid when they aren't. By giving equal weight to a well-supported position and a fringe one, it manufactures the appearance of legitimate debate. Feels like fairness — "hearing both sides" — even when one side has overwhelming evidence.
Boykoff & Boykoff (2004) on media false balance
Responsibility reframing
AI detected as: Psychological Reframing
Reframing a situation so the person who caused harm appears to be the real victim, and the actual victim appears responsible. It forces observers to reconsider who deserves sympathy, distracting from the original wrongdoing.
Freyd's DARVO framework (1997) — Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender
Status-signaling Through Aggressive Brevity
This technique was detected by AI but doesn't yet map to our curated glossary. We're tracking its usage patterns.
In-group/Out-group framing
AI detected as: Isolation Framing
Leveraging your tendency to automatically trust information from "our people" and distrust outsiders. Once groups are established, people apply different standards of evidence depending on who is speaking.
Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979); Cialdini's Unity principle (2016)
Social pressure
AI detected as: Reciprocity Priming
Threatening exclusion or disapproval if you don't conform. Unlike social proof ("everyone is doing it"), social pressure adds a consequence: "and if you don't, you'll be left out." It exploits the deep human need for belonging.
Asch conformity (1951); normative social influence (Deutsch & Gerard, 1955)
Status Signaling
This technique was detected by AI but doesn't yet map to our curated glossary. We're tracking its usage patterns.
Moral framing
Presenting a complex issue with genuine tradeoffs as a simple choice between right and wrong. Once something is framed as a moral issue, compromise feels like complicity and disagreement feels immoral rather than reasonable.
Haidt's Moral Foundations Theory; Lakoff's framing research (2004)
Strategic ambiguity
Leaving claims vague enough that different audiences each hear what they want. By never committing to a specific, falsifiable position, the speaker avoids accountability while supporters project their own preferred meaning.
Eisenberg (1984); dog whistling research (Mendelberg, 2001)
Responsibility reframing
Reframing a situation so the person who caused harm appears to be the real victim, and the actual victim appears responsible. It forces observers to reconsider who deserves sympathy, distracting from the original wrongdoing.

Goffman's dramaturgy (1959); Audrezet et al. (2020) on performed authenticity
Anchoring
Presenting an extreme number or claim first so everything after seems reasonable by comparison. The first piece of information becomes your reference point — even when it's arbitrary or deliberately inflated. Works even when you know the anchor is irrelevant.
Tversky & Kahneman's anchoring heuristic (1974)
In-group/Out-group framing
Leveraging your tendency to automatically trust information from "our people" and distrust outsiders. Once groups are established, people apply different standards of evidence depending on who is speaking.
Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979); Cialdini's Unity principle (2016)
Direct appeal
Explicitly telling you what to do — subscribe, donate, vote, share. Unlike subtler techniques, it works through clarity and urgency. Most effective when preceded by emotional buildup that makes the action feel like a natural next step.
Compliance literature (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004); foot-in-the-door (Freedman & Fraser, 1966)
Pathos
Appealing to your emotions — fear, joy, anger, sadness — to make an argument feel compelling. Rather than persuading through evidence, it works by putting you in an emotional state where you're more receptive. The emotion becomes the proof.
Aristotle's Rhetoric; Kahneman's System 1 processing
