Persuasion Dimensions
Most Used Techniques
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)
Curiosity gap
Creating a deliberate gap between what you know and what you want to know, triggering curiosity as an almost physical itch. Headlines like "You won't believe..." are engineered to exploit this. The content rarely delivers on the promise.
Loewenstein's Information Gap Theory (1994)
Us vs. Them
Dividing the world into two camps — people like us (good, trustworthy) and people not like us (dangerous, wrong). It exploits a deep human tendency to favor our own group. Once you accept the division, information from "them" gets automatically discounted.
Tajfel's Social Identity Theory (1979); Minimal Group Paradigm
Presupposition Of Future Events

Viewer Guidance
Information is consistently shaped from one angle. Seek out how other sources present the same facts.
Arguments rely on assumptions treated as obvious. Ask what you'd need to already believe for the claims to land.
This content frequently uses emotional appeal. Notice when feelings are being prioritized over evidence.
