Re: Guerrilla Psychology

[Marie Helweg-Larsen]

Bob Cialdini's book "Influence: The psychology of persuasion" is very easy to read, fun and based in principles of social psychology. I highly recommend it. Marie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would like to teach a course called "Guerrilla Psychology."  My interest arose as I became fascinated with Karl Rove's tactics and how effective they were.  I want to teach a course on how psychological principles can be used to manipulate opinion and behavior basically, void of ethics.  So, far, I can identify areas such as politics and marketing (closely related, I would guess), as well as miltary operations and education.  (There is a related query from someone else on another list, but the focus is not on the down and dirty uses that I am interested in.) Do any of you know of: a)  resources for the above topics (good books, movies, etc.) b)  other areas where psychological principles are typically used in this fashion?
