Persuasion Dimensions
Most Used Techniques
Association
Pairing a new idea, product, or person with something you already feel positively or negatively about. The goal is to transfer your existing emotional response without any logical connection. It works below conscious awareness.
Evaluative conditioning (Pavlov); IPA 'Transfer' technique (1937)
Fear appeal
Presenting a vivid threat and then offering a specific action as the way to avoid it. Always structured as: "Something terrible will happen unless you do X." Most effective when the threat feels personal and the action feels achievable.
Witte's Extended Parallel Process Model (1992)
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)
Viewer Guidance
Calls to action follow emotional buildup. Consider whether the ask would feel as urgent without the preceding framing.
