Course Description
Every day, we're bombarded by attempts at persuasion. Television commercials, websites, billboards, political campaigns, and even our friends and families when they ask us to help them. The power of persuasion is clear.
But how does persuasion work? What are the keys to successful persuasion and influence? The psychology of persuasion has some answers.
This course is meant to get you started by showing you 5 proven persuasion strategies. These insights come from real published research in the field of social psychology. You'll see how lots of careful experiments show us how persuasion can be most effective.
If you're interested in persuading people, what are you waiting for? Consider the following scenarios. All of them illustrate the value of understanding persuasion and influence:
- You work for a charity and are trying to collect donations
- You manage a team of people and need them to cooperate
- You have a product to sell and need the world to see its value
- You have an issue you're passionate about and want to convince people of its importance
- You are moving to a new house and need to convince your friend to help you
- You are trying to collect signatures on a petition
- You need to find the persuasive language or persuasive argument to make your point
See how all of these scenarios require you to persuade and influence other people? They would be so much easier if you just knew the persuasive words to use. The videos in this course will get you started!
I'm a social psychologist, and I do research every day on topics of persuasion and influence. I've taught psychology to many students--both online and in the classroom. Now it's your turn!

5 quick scientific tips given in simple language. Easy to understand and apply them in your everyday life. I like the fact that although he refers to all these studies he actually just gives the conclusion and results, not too much unuseful data. Definitely recommend it.

Good election, yes! I knew one of the techniques because I've spotted it on salespeople, for example, but it's interesting to learn that there are experiments and research conducted on things and whether they are or not myths. Thank you, Andrew!

It’s an alright course and it’s short but I think with a bit more time it could be great. As it stands, the easiest delivery method would be YouTube. The conclusions were a bit obvious to me but I still was able to find examples of people using this kind of persuasion and now I know that I can be more skeptical (as if I wasn’t already way too skeptical).

I liked the way in which techniques were explained as well as the examples that were used, the techniques are really good and can be used in real life situations, it's also helpful to know them to avoid buying something that you don not need.

This course is outstanding and practical. It teaches practical, effective, personality-tailored steps/techniques for persuading & influencing people. This is how this course teaches how to persuade & influence people by their: personalities verbal language; personalities; personality types; opinions, beliefs, values, needs, personalities, cultures, languages, thoughts, habits, messages and internal dialogues which are important to them, and which are their internal and external personalities. This is how this course teaches “speak, behave and emote the mind, thoughts, personality, behaviour, etiquettes, opinions, values and beliefs of the person you are trying to persuade and influence.” All these techniques are very sound advice.

The course was quite short and sweet. But, it could have been a little more comprehensive mixed with a few more examples showing the applicability in the real world. Nonetheless, I got to learn quite a lot about human psychology and I would definitely like to learn about it even more.

Its a very short course. Most of the content is already known. Didn't get any great insights. Nevertheless, the speaker was clear and to the point.
By Cambourian Paul on 7/18/2017
pour la clarté du contenu ! le discours est limpide et compréhensible. Mais pas 5, car on ne rentre pas spécialement dans le détail. Les exemples sont clairs et précis, ce qui est dit est très bien expliqué.
By Natasha Leef on 6/5/2017
Informative and helpful, course had me seeing my own persuasive behaviour from a different perspective, and how and what it is I need to improve on when trying to persuade others ,and what to be aware of when somebody else is trying to persuade me .Thankyou
