About Subtopic
Psychological Operations examines theories and discussions around the deliberate use of information, messaging, and influence tactics to shape perceptions, emotions, and behavior at a large scale. This subtopic may include ideas about propaganda, mass persuasion, behavioral conditioning, narrative engineering, and strategic communication used in political, military, or social contexts. It often explores how language, symbols, repetition, and media channels are believed to affect collective thinking and decision-making.
It’s a space for people to analyze influence strategies, compare historical and modern examples, and discuss how psychological techniques may be applied to populations rather than individuals. Participants may explore how awareness, skepticism, and critical thinking intersect with claims about coordinated efforts to guide public opinion or social outcomes.
