Patterns of Cognitive manipulation in wartime political speeches: A comparative psychological analysis

Abstract

In wartime, political rhetoric has astonishing power to distort the reality of social perception, justify barbaric violent acts, and mobilize the masses. This article analyzes ward speeches with the aim of explaining the psychology behind them using the filters of the cognitive techniques of manipulation: repetition, emotional flooding, and false binaries. With a qualitative content analysis method, the author analyzes the speeches of political figures like Adolf Hitler, George W. Bush, and Vladimir Putin to uncover underlying patterns in rhetoric. Propounded by cognitive psychology and propaganda studies, this research analyzes how these leaders strengthen emotions, reinforce binaries, and repetitively frame hostile narratives to stifle independent thought and mold ideologies. Considerable culture and time differences are present, yet the analyzed techniques seem to stand everywhere, structural in wartime communication psychology. This study broadens the scope of political persuasion and mass compliance developed during wartime through psychological frameworks.
