Counter influence

Revision as of 06:36, 19 February 2013 by WinSysop (talk | contribs)

Acording to Rollnick and Miller[1], when people sense that sombody tries to control their mind, they will react with counter arguments. This process will be used when in deliberation, someone will try to give arguments that do not follow the person won MONs. If the person is also conditioned to counter-controling or that the person want to control others, he will use counter arguments, or will try to find flows in the argumnet given.

Toi solve this problem, Motivational Intreview shoud be used. As you use more questions in the process of deliberation or as you create settings for wisdome of the group and empathey and un-controling, then this system of counter influence, will diminsh, and let positive methods of decision making take place.

To prevent counter controling and it's outcomes, in deliberation we also use synthesis and "likes", when we like arguments, and we ignore "bad" ideas. We adhare to good ideas. Only in cases of great harm, we will rase our objections.
