So what exactly is persuasion? In The Dynamics of Persuasion, Perloff defines persuasion as "...a symbolic process in which communicators try to convince other people to change their attitudes or behaviors regarding an issue through the transmission of a message in an atmosphere of free choice."

Key Elements

  • Persuasion involves a deliberate attempt to influence others
  • People are not coerced; they are instead free to choose through self-persuasion
  • Persuasive messages are transmitted in a variety of ways, including
  • verbally and nonverbally via television, radio, internet, or face to face communication. 
  • Persuasion is symbolic, utilizing words, images, sounds, etc
  • Cialdini's 6 principles of persuasion are: reciprocity, consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity. 

    How to avoid indoctrination: 

    1. Ask For Evidence

    2. Study The Opposing View

    3. Be Mindful of Persuasion By Repetition

    4. Be Mindful Of Appeals To Popularity 

    5. Develop A Biblical WorldView
