?‍? 1. "Eyewitnesses" of events
There are allegedly eyewitnesses of the events who, with the necessary sincerity, report information that had been transmitted to them in advance by manipulators, passing it off as their own.

The name of such "eyewitnesses" is often concealed for the purpose of conspiracy, or a false name is called, which, along with falsified information, nevertheless achieves an effect on the audience, since affects the unconscious of the individual, causing in it a heat of feelings and emotions, as a result of which the censorship of the psyche is weakened and is able to pass information without defining its false essence.

? 2. The image of the enemy
By artificially creating a threat and, as a result, the intensity of passions, the masses are immersed in states similar to ASC (altered states of consciousness). As a result, such masses are easier to manage.

? 3. Shifting emphasis
In this case, there is a deliberate shift in emphasis in the submitted material, and something not quite desirable for manipulators is brought into the background, and the opposite is highlighted - what is necessary for them.

? 4. Using "opinion leaders"
In this case, manipulations of mass consciousness occur on the basis that when performing any actions, individuals are guided by opinion leaders. The opinion leaders can be various figures who have become authoritative for a certain category of the population.

Research from the universities of Arizona and Montana has shown that we may not be satisfied with the physical attractiveness of our own lovers just because the popular media bombards us with images of unrealistically attractive models.

In one study, college students rated an average-looking member of the opposite sex as less attractive if they had previously viewed advertisements in popular magazines.
