p g g y g g stick or are you dangling a carrot? In other words, is what you are saying or doing forceful or enticing? Awareness of everyday use of influence, and understanding characteristics of different forms of social influence, are important for maintaining standards of behavior in both personal and professional interactions.

For this Discussion, you will recall a time when you influenced another adult’s thoughts or actions in a positive way. You will analyze and evaluate the aspects of influence you employed.

To prepare:

Review Chapters 1 and 2 of the text. Pay particular attention to the meaning and differences between persuasion and coercion , propaganda , and manipulation . Recall a situation when you influenced another adult in a positive way (e.g., addressed negative or harmful thinking or behavior). Reflect on the language and/or actions you used to influence the other adult and which aspect of social influence (i.e., persuasion, coercion, propaganda, or manipulation), or a combination, most accurately characterizes your approach to the other adult. Consider to what degree you were aware of the type(s) of influence you were using and whether you would employ the same or different aspect(s) of social influence today.

Of Week 1 post responses to the following:

Describe the situation and the language and/or actions you used to influence the other adult. Explain the aspect(s) of social influence most evident in your language/actions, and to what degree you were aware of using persuasion, coercion, propaganda, and/or manipulation at the time. Explain the outcome and your degree of success in influencing the other adult.
