> Psychological operations (PSYOPs or Psych-Ops) aim to achieve narrative dominance by molding perceptions and attitudes via multi-channel information and persuasive messaging. PSYOPs seeks to achieve control through non-violent means by influencing the minds of the target audiences.
This definition sounds like a bunch of fancy words for Propaganda? How is “PSYOPS” different?
- nis0s 1y agoPsych ops is different from propaganda because the former has a component of weakening an opponent through messaging, whereas the latter is more concerned with trying to convince others to your side or view point. But you’re right that there could be overlap, it just depends on who’s the target.
- andsoitis 1y agoThanks. So propaganda is the message, while psyops is the campaign that might use propaganda (and other tools) as part of a larger psychological strategy.
