[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 85296, member: 4990"] [B]Psychology of Convincing Someone[/B] Convincing someone to believe what you say is no more than simply convincing this someone to either accept a new idea or update his knowledge or belief about an existing idea. Not all people will accept your ideas with the same degree, however there are still rules that every person is subject to and if used correctly, will increase your chance of convincing other people to believe what you say. If the person you want to convince already has prior knowledge or experience of what you're trying to convince him with, then your primary goal is to shake his beliefs and proving him false and only then present him with your own idea. If the person [I]does not[/I] have a previous idea about that thing, you can just start by presenting your own view right away. [B]Why Can't I Convince Other People?[/B] Before learning how to convince someone to believe in something or to accept your idea, you should first know the reasons that generally make people oppose ideas: [LIST] [*][B]Belief Conflict[/B]: If one of your friends told you that the earth does not in fact orbit the sun, what would be your response? There would be no way you could believe him since you already know that all eight planets orbit the sun, something which you have seen proven time and time again. You already have an opposing belief so the first obstacle facing your friend when trying to convince you is your own [URL="http://www.2knowmyself.com/subconscious_mind/Subconscious_mind_belief_system"]belief system.[/URL] [*][B]Knowledge[/B]: The greater a person’s knowledge about something, the harder will it be to convince him of something different.

He'll never believe you because he already has deep knowledge of the subject and might have proven it scientifically himself. Thus the second obstacle to convincing people are their level of knowledge about what you're going to say.

If you are dealing with a skeptic person then this will add further difficulties. [/LIST] [B]How to Convince Someone to Believe in Something[/B] Based on the previous obstacles we can come up with counter techniques that can highly increase the probability of success when convincing someone. Those techniques are: [LIST] [*][B]Shaking His Existing Belief[/B]: The more [URL="http://www.2knowmyself.com/self_confidence/assertiveness_definition"]assertive[/URL] and confident you are while talking about your idea, the higher the possibility of shaking the other person's belief about that thing (given that he does not have much knowledge about it).
