To provoke emotions, you first have to understand how emotions relate to one another and the natural progression of emotions. These can be seen in Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotion as seen at the Top of this tutorial. I will give you ways to bring out each of these emotions in your target. Remember: every person is different, and each technique I list here may not work for everyone. Due to the amount of different emotions, I will only be listing how to elicit the most mild of each emotion. If you need help evoking a stronger emotion, PM me and ill help you out with your specific cause.

Serenity>Joy>Ecstasy
To evoke a serene response from your target, its all about bring the kind sweetness. You’ll want to compliment your target, make them feel as if they are special. Bring up topics that will make them laugh, after all, serenity is on the emotional pathway to Joy and Ecstasy. This emotion is important when trying to lure in a new love in your life.

Acceptance>Trust>Admiration
This is a very important emotion to know for a hacker, especially one who is interested in Human Manipulation and Social Engineering. Acceptance is brought on by relating to your target. The more you have in common and they feel that you are “two peas in a pod” the more they will accept you, and the closer you will get to gaining trust and admiration. This is one emotion that takes time to provoke, and usually wont be gained after one conversation, so patience is key.

Apprehension>Fear>Terror
This is one of the most difficult ones to bring out of someone if they are a stranger to you. the easiest way to do this is play off things that large groups of people fear (ie-death) If you know the person well (or do your homework first) then play off their personal fears/phobias.

Distraction>Surprise>Amazment
One of the most direct emotions, this line can be achived just by giving information they didnt previously know, but find interesting, or doing some grand gesture without their knowledge. Remember though, surprise and fear are right next to each other, be careful not to push them into a emotion you werent planning to!

Pensiveness>Sadness>Grief
Have you ever lost a loved one? then you know how easy it is to push someone wayyyy into this emotion. Bring up hard memories such as loss or abandonment, world hunger or child abuse. Its surprisingly easy to bring someone to the breaking point of sadness and grief. Sob stories are the number one way SE’s use emotion to gain information, so be careful with this one!

Boredom>Disgust>Loathing
If you dont know how to make someone hate you, then your prolly not so great of a hacker. But on a serious note, bring up this emotion simply by being everything you cant stand in a person. Be rude, ignorant, hateful, degrading, and just plan mean.

Annoyance>Anger>Rage
This is essentially the same as the previous emotions except for these emotions tend to lead towards a response that is more violent. DO NOT explot these emotions unless your ready for a fight. You can pretty much evoke this emotion in any person just by slapping them really hard, or telling them “(inser name) SLEPT WITH YOUR MOM”

Interest>Anticipation>Vigilance
This is most commonly used in marketing. The key to this emotion is having something your victim wants. By having them obsess over a certain idea or object, they can quickly move through the stages of this emotion, afterall, this is prolly the way we all became hackers, right? lol
