Chapter 1: What is Dark Psychology? How does it work?
It is rightly said that ‘Knowledge is Power’. If that is true then if you know about human psychology then that is not less than having superpowers. First, let us understand what psychology is before knowing about dark psychology. Psychology is said to be a study of behavior and mind. It is a complete study of mind, how does it work and affects behavior. Researchers also say that psychology also comprises of understanding how people act, feel and think. People who are well versed with psychological principles have a golden key to influence people and obtaining this key is not an easy task.
Although it is not easy to define psychology in one definition if we talk in short, it comprises of a deep understanding of thoughts, feelings, motivation, development, emotion, personality, thoughts and social behavior. Not only this, psychology bounds to just you, in this, you get great learning on why do people behave as they do and other elements which impact human behavior and mind.
There are many goals of psychology such as-
• To Describe
• To Explain
• To Change
• To Predict
By now, it must be very clear to you what psychology is. Now, let us know in-depth about what dark psychology is. It is the art and science of mind control and manipulation. Most people say that dark psychology is the prodigy trough which people use strategies of persuasion, motivation, control, and pressure to get what they desire. Some people think of dark psychology as a defensive measure and try to remain ignorant towards it. But there are always many good ideas and principles in dark psychology which can be used to get ahead in both your personal and professional life!
While studying dark psychology, I got to know more about it, which are its traits. There are 4 triads. Which mostly are referred to criminologist and psychologist pinpoint as it is a very easy predictor of firstly criminal behavior and secondly for problematic relationships. Let us know about the 4 triads in detail-
1) Narcissists- They are pompous self -promoters who crave attention every time. Many times, you must have come across people like these who would seek attention in whatever work they do. Mostly these people have egotism and lack of empathy.
2) Machiavellianism- These people are said to be a master of manipulation and diplomacy. They have such traits that they would cheat you out of a thing which is very valuable and you would not even get to know. They usually do white-collar crime and are far above from the narcissists in terms of manipulation. These people mostly believe in exploiting people and also have no sense of morality in them.
