Persuasion Dimensions
Most Used Techniques
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.
Goffman's dramaturgy (1959); Audrezet et al. (2020) on performed authenticity
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)
Intensity amplification
Inflating the importance, drama, or shock value of information using superlatives, alarming framing, and emotional language. Once your alarm system activates, you stop evaluating proportionality.
Cultivation theory (Gerbner, 1969); availability heuristic (Tversky & Kahneman, 1973)
Viewer Guidance
Calls to action follow emotional buildup. Consider whether the ask would feel as urgent without the preceding framing.
This content frequently uses emotional appeal. Notice when feelings are being prioritized over evidence.
Arguments rely on assumptions treated as obvious. Ask what you'd need to already believe for the claims to land.
