Manipulation (psychology)
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 to induce submission.[2][3] Manipulation is generally considered a dishonest form of social influence as it is used at the expense of others.[4] Barring mental disabilities, humans are inherently capable of manipulative and deceptive behavior, with the main differences being of specific personality characteristics or disorders.[5][6][7][8]
