Domination techniques
Have you ever experienced being ridiculed, ignored, or has important information been deliberately kept from you? Have you been exposed to rolling eyes or statements like “I’m sorry you take it that way” or “Can’t you tell I’m only joking”?
Tekna and DION invites all PhD candidates, postdocs and temporary scientific employees at NTNU in Trondheim, Ålesund and Gjøvik, to a free course where you will learn to recognize the most common domination techniques - as well as find counter strategies to combat them.
The course
Domination techniques are strategies of social manipulation and domination, like expressions, statements and behavior used to make the other person feel inferior or stupid. Using the techniques is a way of showing power, to emphasize oneself at the expense of others. However, it is important to remember that they are often used unconsciously.
Course content:
• Berit Ås' five defined domination techniques
• Other common domination techniques
• “Dominators” we should be aware of
• Techniques and countermoves to deal with and combat domination techniques
• What promotes and what prevents good communication in a difficult situation?
