Which Biases Create this Strategy?
What about Trust of Others?
You can use each influencing strategy with a high or low Trust of Others. This will affect how it is experienced. If Trust of Others is high, others will experience the strategy as ‘warm’. If it is low, others will experience it as is ‘cool’.
