Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the perception or behavior of others through underhanded, deceptive, or abusive tactics.〔 By advancing the interests of the manipulator, often at another's expense, such methods could be considered exploitative, abusive, devious, and deceptive. Social influence is not necessarily negative. For example, doctors can try to convince patients to change unhealthy habits. Social influence is generally perceived to be harmless when it respects the right of the influenced to accept or reject and is not unduly coercive. Depending on the context and motivations, social influence may constitute underhanded manipulation. ==Requirements for successful manipulation== According to psychology author George K. Simon, successful psychological manipulation primarily involves the manipulator:〔 (reference for the entire section)〕 # Concealing aggressive intentions and behaviors. # Knowing the psychological vulnerabilities of the victim to determine which tactics are likely to be the most effective. # Having a sufficient level of ruthlessness to have no qualms about causing harm to the victim if necessary. Consequently, the manipulation is likely to be accomplished through covert aggressive (relational aggressive or passive aggressive) means.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Psychological manipulation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
