The Distraction Tactic Most Manipulators Use: Psychologists Suggest What to Pay Attention To
People cannot effectively do two things at once, psychologists say.
By switching attention from one object to another, a person loses control over the first object for a certain time.
Manipulators are well aware of this and skillfully use this opportunity to their advantage.
If during a business meeting you notice that your interlocutor, while talking about a certain topic, is trying to tell you some extraneous news, then this should alert you.
Psychologists claim that in this way your partner distracts your attention and can slip you or suggest anything.
This should be a strong signal to you that the person is probably trying to hide something from you or wants to confuse you.
It was previously revealed that manipulators use the same set of tricks to deceive their interlocutors.
