Persuasion, however is not always used for changing attitude but also to prevent attitudes from changing. Because both communication and ethics are tacitly or explicitly inherent in all human interactions, everyday life is fraught with intentional and unintentional ethical questions—from reaching for a cup of coffee to speaking critically in a public meeting. Nevertheless, potential ethical questions exist re-gardless of how they are answered.

Finally, it has to be voluntary. An audience that is highly motivated and able to process the information is more likely to be persuaded provided that the strong arguments are presented in favor of desired position than an audience that is distracted and apathetic. For example- using harsh punishment to control actions of teenagers can send them in ‘rebel mode’. Oxford, U.K.: Oxford University Press, p. 139. Credibility of the source has an effect on persuasion, such that credible source are more persuasive than non-credible source. Messages that involve both cognitive as well as emotional appeal are more influential in persuading people to change their attitude in the required direction. However, if the fear appeal is too strong it can lead to selective avoidance of the message by the target person/ group. Forewarning– If the target is warned that he will be subjected to persuasion attempt then he can be prepared with the counter argument so as to defend his own position. For instance, family and friends can persuade us more easily as we may be working towards a mutual goal or we may be similar to each other.

In this technique some initial deal is offered to the target person, and then additional discounts or concessions are provided, and finally person is asked to comply. When a commitment is made voluntarily and publicly it becomes very difficult to withdraw from that position. Persuasion is done using logic, reasoning and emotional appeal through information passed on to the target group by a credible source through different communication channels. If communicator can get the listener to process these strong arguments thoughtfully, then the attitude change will likely be strong and long lasting because after due deliberation the underlying cognitive/belief structure itself undergoes transformation. It involves making an initial unreasonable request that the target is likely to refuse outrightly, then making the original intended request. When message is passed through central route then the audience deliberate upon the message, apply their mind and analyze it. They are more sensitive to situational cues and adjust their behavior accordingly. If others have done something before us, it must be okay.Social proof is also effective when people who are similar to us and they have gained socially recognized success or some achievement, then we are more likely to listen and be persuaded by them. persuasive intent of the source is known, then the credibility of the source decreases. There are three characteristics of a credible source-. For instance, advertisements of toothpaste features dentist as they are expert in their field. But, persuasion through spontaneous or peripheral route is not long lasting as the underlying belief is not changed. 0000005805 00000 n

Although I registered hundreds of individual compliance tactics, the great majority of techniques could be understood in terms of only a few universal principles of human behavior.

The study of attitude and ‘how’ and ‘why’ people behave in certain way has been an area of discussion since ancient times, and consequently attitude change has also instigated many thoughts.

Communication ethics concerns the creation and evaluation of goodness in all aspects and manifestations of communicative interaction.

�zD�"�}+�Y�~�(�x� The Ethics of Persuasion in Technology Nathaniel Zinda February 21, 2019 Abstract This essay is concerned with the issue of persuasion in our information and communication technologies. Ethos refers to ethical appeal of the communicator himself which involves his character, morality, values etc. For instance, some are extroverts while many can be introverts. Figure 3. Spontaneous processing is direct, quick, and often involves emotional responses to the message. However, if he holds the external conditions and circumstances responsible for his particular behavior then his attitude may change temporarily as a response to external stimuli but the change will not last for long. Both involve choices among communicative means to achieve whatever the communica- ... Ethics in Human Communication through all five editions. 0000000946 00000 n
I review the evolution of public relations ethics, the current state of practice, and the thoughts of ethicists. A purely rational definition of science is inherently psychopathic and fortunately not accurate. Messages containing strong arguments (persuasive data and statistics) are more persuasive than weak arguments (relying only on individual quotations and personal opinions). Psychologists have identified certain techniques which are often used by people to persuade others to agree with them. Your email address will not be published.

For example- If an individual is thought of as someone who is an environmentalist, he/ she is more likely to participate in a public protest against cutting forests, even if they have no real interests but simply to remains consistent with the public perception of their character. For example- Persuasion against drunk driving- Between 2008 and 2017, 76,446 people died in 211,405 road accidents nationwide due to consumption of alcohol or drugs (cognitive message). Pathos is emotional persuasion in which emotions of the audience are targeted. Other method of persuasion is SUBLIMINAL PERSUASION in which the message is presented to the audience without them being aware that a message has been presented—for instance, by flashing messages quickly in a TV show, an advertisement, or a movie. The trustworthiness not only comes from expertise but also from proven track record of values like integrity, honesty, justice etc. Learn as much as you can about those you will engage. The effectiveness of persuading message also depends number of channels used to deliver the message. When the persuader expects that listeners would process the message only spontaneously—for instance, if they don’t care too much about the message or if they are busy doing other things—then the content of the message itself becomes less important; even a weak (but interesting) message which is capable of inciting emotional response can be effective in this case. An effective fear appeal must-. This creates a situation of psychological confusion and mental discomfort known as cognitive dissonance. The bipartite ethical psychology is a human psychology based upon the fact that we describe and classify human behavior in terms of emotional response and reasoned deliberation (128). Implications for practitioners are discussed, including the research showing that a strong sense of ethics and of how to arrive at ethical decisions can enhance the career prospects of public relations professionals. provide strong assurance that the recommended course of action will prevent the dire consequences. Persuasion is a process of inducing change in ideas, beliefs and attitude of other persons or group about some issue in a predetermined direction. We explain The Ethics of Persuasion with video tutorials and quizzes, using our Many Ways(TM) approach from multiple teachers. For example- Advertisement containing baby products often invoke positive emotional response in parents to persuade them and make it more likely that they will buy the products. For example- Gandhi ji was a lawyer by profession. Hold your storehouse in reserve and select only the facts you need. Identify the importance of ethics in your study of persuasion.

ESSENCE, DETERMINANTS AND CONSEQUENCES OF ETHICS, ROLE OF FAMILY, EDUCATION AND SOCIETY IN INCULCATION OF VALUES, ETHICS IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE RELATIONSHIPS.
