Manipulation (psychology)

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 21 min

In psychology, manipulation is defined as an action designed to influence or control another person, usually in an underhanded or unfair manner which facilitates one's personal aims.[1] Methods someone may use to manipulate another person may include seduction, suggestion, coercion, and blackmail.[2][3][4] Manipulation is generally considered a dishonest form of social influence as it is used at the expense of others.[5][6] Barring mental disabilities, humans are inherently capable of manipulative and deceptive behavior, with the main differences being of specific personality characteristics or disorders.[7]

Differentiation

[edit]

Manipulation differs from general influence and persuasion.[8] Manipulation, unlike persuasion, typically involves exploiting the vulnerabilities of an individual.[9] Non-manipulative influence is generally perceived to be harmless and it is not seen as unduly coercive to the individual's right of acceptance or rejection of influence.[10] Persuasion is the ability to move others to a desired action, usually within the context of a specific goal. Persuasion often attempts to influence a person's beliefs, religion, motivations, or behavior. Influence and persuasion are neither positive nor negative, unlike manipulation which is strictly negative.[11][12]

Elements of manipulation

[edit]

While the motivations for manipulation are mostly self-serving, certain styles of social influence can be intended to be to the benefit of others.[13] Manipulation can be defined as the use of strategies to further personal driven goals at the expense of others and is usually considered antisocial behavior.[13] Pro-social behavior is a voluntary act intended to help or benefit another individual or group of individuals and is an important part of empathy.[14][15]

Different measures of manipulativeness focus on different aspects or expressions of manipulation and tend to paint slightly different pictures of its predictors. Features such as low empathy, high narcissism, use of self-serving rationalizations, and an interpersonal style marked by high agency (dominance) and low communion (i.e. cold-heartedness) are consistent across measures.[16][17][18]

Manipulative behaviors typically exploit the following vulnerabilities:

Vulnerability Description
Naïveté or immaturity People who find it too hard to accept the idea that some people are cunning, devious and ruthless or are "in denial" if they are being taken advantage of. They will acknowledge the fact of being manipulated only if it occurs too often.[19]
Over-conscientiousness People who are much harder on themselves than on others often are too willing to give another the benefit of the doubt and see their side of things while blaming themselves for hurting the manipulator.[19]
Low self-esteem People who struggle with self-doubting, lacking in confidence and assertiveness, or chronically unsure of their right to pursue their legitimate wants and needs. They are likely to go on the defensive too easily when challenged by an aggressive personality.[19]
Over-intellectualization People who believe that others only do hurtful things when there's some legitimate, understandable reason for manipulation. They might delude themselves into believing that uncovering and understanding all the reasons for the manipulator's behavior will be sufficient to make things different.[19]
Emotional dependency People who have a submissive or dependent personality. The more emotionally dependent a person is, the more vulnerable they are to being exploited and manipulated.[19]

Harriet B. Braiker

[edit]

Harriet B. Braiker identified the following ways that manipulators control their victims:[20]

According to Braiker, manipulators exploit the following vulnerabilities (buttons) that may exist in victims:[20]

  • The desire to please
  • Addiction to earning the approval and acceptance of others
  • Emotophobia (fear of negative emotion; i.e. a fear of expressing anger, frustration or disapproval)
  • A lack of assertiveness and ability to say no
  • A blurry sense of identity (with soft personal boundaries)
  • Low self-reliance
  • Possessing an external locus of control

Manipulators can have various possible motivations, including but not limited to:[20]

  • The need to advance their own purposes and personal gain at (virtually any) cost to others
  • A strong need to attain feelings of power and superiority in relationships with others - compare megalomania (associated with, for example, narcissistic personality disorder)[21]
  • A want and need to feel in control
  • A desire to gain a feeling of power over others in order to raise their perception of self-esteem
  • Boredom, or growing tired of one's surroundings; seeing manipulation as a game more than hurting others
  • Covert agendas, criminal or otherwise, including financial manipulation (often seen when intentionally targeting the elderly or unsuspecting, unprotected wealthy for the sole purpose of obtaining victims' financial assets)
  • Not identifying with underlying emotions (including experiencing commitment phobia), and subsequent rationalization (offenders do not manipulate consciously, but rather try to convince themselves of the invalidity of their own emotions)
  • A lack of self-control over impulsive and anti-social behaviour - leading to pre-emptive or reactionary manipulation to maintain image

George K. Simon

[edit]

According to psychology author George K. Simon, successful psychological manipulation primarily involves the manipulator:[19]

  • Concealing aggressive intentions and behaviors and being affable.
  • 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.

Techniques of manipulators may include:

Techniques Description
Lying (by commission) Someone deliberately makes a false statement or provides misleading information with the intent to deceive. This type of lying involves actively saying something untrue rather than omitting the truth.[22]
Lying by omission This is a subtle form of lying by withholding a significant amount of the truth.[22] This technique is also used in propaganda.
Denial Manipulator refuses to admit that they have done something wrong.[23]
Rationalization An excuse made by the manipulator for inappropriate behavior. Rationalization is closely related to spin.[24]
Selective inattention or selective attention Manipulator refuses to pay attention to anything that may distract from their agenda.[25]
Diversion Manipulator not giving a straight answer to a straight question and instead being diversionary, steering the conversation onto another topic.[26]
Evasion Similar to diversion but giving irrelevant, rambling, or vague responses.[26]
Covert intimidation Manipulator putting the victim onto the defensive by using veiled (subtle, indirect or implied) threats.
Guilt trip A manipulator plays on a victim's guilt, often stating that they do not care enough, are too selfish or have it too easy. This can result in the victim feeling bad.
Shaming Manipulator tries to evoke a feeling of shame in the target.
Vilifying the victim Victim blaming occurs when a person or society holds a victim partially or fully responsible for the harm they suffered, rather than placing accountability on the perpetrator. This can manifest through questioning the target's choices or character to justify or downplay the wrongdoing against them.
Playing the victim role when someone exaggerates or fabricates their suffering to gain sympathy, avoid responsibility, or manipulate others. This behavior often involves blaming others for personal problems while refusing to acknowledge one's own role in a situation.
Playing the servant role Cloaking a self-serving agenda in the guise of a service to a more noble cause.
Seduction Manipulator uses charm, praise, flattery or overtly supporting others in order to get them to lower their defenses and give their trust and loyalty to the manipulator. They will also offer help with the intent to gain trust and access to an unsuspecting victim they have charmed.
Projecting the blame (blaming others) Manipulator attributes to others what is going on in their own mind.[27]
Feigning innocence Manipulator tries to suggest that any harm done was unintentional or that they did not do something that they were accused of. Manipulator may put on a look of surprise or indignation. This tactic makes the victim question their own judgment and possibly their own sanity.
Feigning confusion The manipulator pretends not to understand something to evade responsibility, manipulate a situation, or delay a response. This tactic is often used to avoid answering questions, deny knowledge, or frustrate others into dropping an issue.
Brandishing anger Manipulator uses anger to brandish sufficient emotional intensity and rage to shock the victim into submission.
Bandwagon effect Manipulator comforts the victim into submission by claiming (whether true or false) that many people already have done something, and the victim should as well. Such manipulation can be seen in peer pressure situations, often occurring in scenarios where the manipulator attempts to influence the victim into trying drugs or other substances.

Martin Kantor

[edit]

Kantor advises in his 2006 book The Psychopathology of Everyday Life: How Antisocial Personality Disorder Affects All of Us that vulnerability to psychopathic manipulators involves being too:[28]

  • Dependent – dependent people need to be loved and are therefore gullible and liable to say yes to something to which they should say no.
  • Immature – has impaired judgment and so tends to believe exaggerated advertising claims.
  • Naïve – cannot believe there are dishonest people in the world, or takes it for granted that if there are any, they will not be allowed to prey on others.
  • Impressionable – overly seduced by charmers.
  • Trusting – people who are honest often assume that everyone else is honest. They are more likely to commit themselves to people they hardly know without checking credentials, etc., and less likely to question so-called experts.
  • Careless – not giving sufficient amount of thought or attention to harm or errors.
  • Lonely – lonely people may accept any offer of human contact. A psychopathic stranger may offer human companionship for a price.
  • Narcissistic – narcissists are prone to falling for unmerited flattery.
  • Impulsive – make snap decisions.
  • Altruistic – the opposite of psychopathic: too honest, too fair, too empathetic.
  • Frugal – cannot say no to a bargain even if they know the reason it is so cheap.
  • Materialistic – easy prey for loan sharks or get-rich-quick schemes.
  • Greedy – the greedy and dishonest may fall prey to a psychopath who can easily entice them to act in an immoral way.
  • Masochistic – lack self-respect and so unconsciously let psychopaths take advantage of them. They think they deserve it out of a sense of guilt.
  • The elderly – the elderly can become fatigued and less capable of multi-tasking. When hearing a sales pitch they are less likely to consider that it could be a con. They are more likely to give money to someone with a hard-luck story. See elder abuse.

Assessment tools

[edit]

MACH-IV

[edit]

Manipulativeness is a primary feature found in the Machiavellianism construct.[29][30] The MACH-IV, conceptualized by Richard Christie and Florence Geis, is a popular and widely used psychological measure of manipulative and deceptive behavior.[31]

Emotional manipulation scale

[edit]

The emotional manipulation scale is a ten-item questionnaire developed in 2006 through factor analysis, primarily to measure one's tendency to use emotions to their advantage in controlling others.[32] At the time of publication, emotional intelligence assessments did not specifically examine manipulative behavior and were instead predominantly focussed on Big Five personality trait assessment.[32]

Managing the emotions of others scale

[edit]

The "Managing the Emotions of Others Scale" (MEOS) was developed in 2013 through factor analysis to measure the ability to change emotions of others.[33] The survey questions measure six categories: mood (or emotional state) enhancement, mood worsening, concealing emotions, capacity for inauthenticity, poor emotion skills, and using diversion to enhance mood. The enhancement, worsening and diversion categories have been used to identify the ability and willingness of manipulative behavior.[13] The MEOS has also been used for assessing emotional intelligence, and has been compared to the HEXACO model of personality structure, for which the capacity for inauthenticity category in the MEOS was found to correspond to low honesty-humility scores on the HEXACO.[34]

Manipulation and personality disorders

[edit]

Manipulative tendencies may derive from cluster B personality disorders such as narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder. Manipulative behavior has also been related with one's level of emotional intelligence.[13][35] Discussion of manipulation may vary depending on which behavior is specifically included, and whether one is referring to the general population or in clinical contexts.[36]

Antisocial personality disorder features deceit and manipulation of others as an explicit criterion. This runs the gamut of deception, from lying and superficial displays of charisma to frequent use of aliases and disguises, and criminal fraudulence.[4] The Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) in Section III of DSM-5 requires the presence of manipulative behaviour for a diagnosis of ASPD, with two symptoms (deceitfulness and manipulativeness) reflecting such tendencies out of the seven listed, with six being required for diagnosis (the others are impulsivity, irresponsibility, risk-taking, callousness and hostility).[4] The related syndrome of psychopathy also features pathological lying and manipulation for personal gain, as well as superficial charm, as cardinal features.[4]

Borderline personality disorder is unique in the grouping as "borderline" manipulation is characterized as unintentional and dysfunctional manipulation.[37] Marsha M. Linehan has stated that people with borderline personality disorder often exhibit behaviors which are not truly manipulative, but are erroneously interpreted as such.[38] According to Linehan, these behaviors often appear as unthinking manifestations of intense pain, and are often not deliberate as to be considered truly manipulative. In the DSM-V, manipulation was removed as a defining characteristic of borderline personality disorder.[37]

Conduct disorder is the appearance of antisocial behavior occurring in children and adolescents.[39] Individuals with this disorder are characterized by a lack of empathy, a low sense of guilt, and shallow emotionality. Aggression and violence are two factors that characterize individuals with this disorder. In order for a child to be diagnosed with this disorder, the behavior must be consistent for at least 12 months.[40]

Factitious disorder is a mental illness in which individuals purposely fake having symptoms of some condition, physically or psychologically. Fabricating illnesses allows individuals to feel a thrill[41] and receive free aid in hospital admissions and treatment. Feelings of persistence, abuse in early childhood, and excessive thoughts were common for these individuals who connected to Borderline Personality Disorder.[42]

Histrionic personality disorder is a personality disorder characterized by dramatic and attention seeking behavior. Individuals with the personality disorder exhibit inappropriate alluring tactics, and irregular emotional patterns. Histrionic symptoms include "seeking reassurance, switching emotional, and feeling uncomfortable." Histrionic and Narcissistic Personality Disorders overlap because decisions are sporadic and unreliable.[43]

Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by a belief of superiority, exhibitionism, self-centeredness and a lack of empathy. Individuals with NPD can be charming but also show exploitive behaviors in the interpersonal domain. They are motivated by success, beauty, and may have feelings of entitlement.[44] Those with this disorder often engage in assertive self enhancement and antagonistic self-protection.[44] All of these factors can lead an individual with narcissistic personality disorder to manipulate others.

Under the ICD-11's dimensional model of personality pathology, deceitful, manipulative and exploitative behaviors are cardinal expressions of the lack of empathy domain of the Dissociality trait.[45]

Counters to manipulative behavior

[edit]

Many have proposed ways for potential victims to identify manipulation attempts and take action to prevent victimization.[46]

Identifying manipulation

[edit]

Manipulation can be identified through several established tactics and behavioral signs. Guilt tripping occurs when manipulators can evoke unjustified guilt in their victims as a means to control them, while gaslighting involves manipulators causing their victim to doubt themself and their beliefs through distortion of reality.[47][48] Another tactic is love-bombing, where manipulators may escalate affection at an unreasonable rate in an attempt to better control their victim through forming trust.[49]

Several behavioral red flags can help identify manipulation, including inconsistencies where the manipulator's actions and words do not align, excessive flattery that manifests as unwarranted praise and excessive compliments, and isolation attempts where the manipulator tries to separate the victim from friends and family.[50]

Preventing manipulation

[edit]

The establishment of healthy boundaries requires two primary components: verbal communication for boundary definition and respect parameters, and assertiveness training for non-aggressive position maintenance. Emotional awareness monitoring consists of systematic self-reflection procedures and mindfulness exercise implementation for emotion recognition and processing.[51] Building self-esteem involves practicing self-compassion during challenging times and using positive affirmations to boost confidence. Seeking support can include professional therapy and engaging supportive social networks to manage manipulative influences. Learning about manipulation involves studying related methodologies and participating in educational workshops to develop protective skills. When manipulation escalates to harassment or abuse, legal consultation may become necessary for pursuing appropriate protective measures.[51]
