Abstract

Persuasion techniques play a vital role in human commu- nication, influencing various aspects of our lives. With the increasing prevalence of digital platforms, these techniques have permeated online spaces such as websites, mobile apps, games, and social media. This article presents a dataset col- lected via a survey, designed to gather information about in- dividuals’ demographics, personality traits, dysfunctional at- titudes, and their responses to statements embedded with persuasion techniques. Core messages promoting paid news subscriptions, blood donations, and exercise serve as the fo- cus, while definitions and examples of persuasive techniques are provided. By analyzing this comprehensive dataset, re- searchers could gain valuable insights into the influence and impact of persuasive communication strategies.
