Firstly, the meaning of 'persuasion' needs to be defined:
The noun form of 'persuade'.
1. to prevail on (a person, etc.), by advice, urging, reasons, inducements,etc., to do something.
2. to induce to believe, convince.
(points 1. and 2. are the Macquarie Dictionary (2004) definitions of 'persuade').
'Persuasion' is an activity limited to communication between sentient (conscious/aware) beings, such as person to person, shepherd to sheep,
and dog-owner to dog. I believe the context of the question is most likely interested only in human social affairs, so I'll confine the answer to such.
Through, by far, most of human history, and pre-history, non-violent methods of resolving conflicts have been far more common than violence. Violence, for this argument, are acts such as threats, stand-overs, ridicule, false rumour-mongering as well as the obvious: physical violence.
Persuasion tends to be usually non-violent, so can be classed as a humanly-progressive behaviour choice.
As violence usually only results in changing behaviours but not minds, I feel it can be assumed as most likely that through the enlightenment of spiritual and religious studies, and in more recent centuries from within philosophical, theosophical and psychology schools of thought, people developed skills in persuasion because violence is too costly in human terms, as well as inadaquate and innefficient for social interaction and adaption.
Considering the above notions, it seems to me that persuasion would predate higher language and record-keeping, let alone story-telling, so we cannot be sure, in a factual sense, of how, where or when persuasion developed. Belief is another matter...
Persuasion likely developed as a means for early humans to influence others in their social group to cooperate, share resources, and make collective decisions. Over time, individuals who were more effective at persuading others may have gained social status and reproductive advantages, leading to the evolution of persuasive techniques. Today, persuasion continues to play a key role in human communication and social interactions.
The purpose of persuasion is to influence, convince, or motivate others to adopt a particular belief, attitude, or behavior. It involves using communication and rhetoric to present information in a way that is convincing and appealing to the audience.
Persuasion is the act of influencing someone's beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors through communication. It involves presenting convincing arguments, supporting evidence, and reasoning to sway someone towards a particular viewpoint or course of action. Ultimately, the goal of persuasion is to change or reinforce someone's opinion or behavior.
The verb for persuasion is persuade.Other verbs are persuades, persuaded and persuading, depending on the tense.Some example sentences are:"I will persuade her to come along to the party"."He persuades her to try the drink"."I persuaded her to keep it a secret"."Why are you persuading me to do bad things?"
There are three main types of persuasion: logos (using logic and reasoning to convince an audience), pathos (appealing to emotions and feelings), and ethos (establishing credibility and trust with the audience). Effective persuasion often involves a combination of these three elements.
Persuasion seeks to influence attitudes and behaviors by appealing to emotions, beliefs, and values, while pure argument relies on logical reasoning and evidence to present a case. Persuasion aims to create a connection with the audience on a deeper level, often incorporating storytelling and rhetoric to engage with them more effectively.
