This persuasive technique is called appeal to authority.
Appeal to authority is a persuasive technique where the speaker relies on the credibility of another person or event to suport their own argument. It is often considered a fallacy because the speaker depends on the "authority"instead of presenting their own evidence.
Example:
"A commercial claims that <u>3 out of 4 dentists</u> would choose this particular brand of toothpaste for their own families to use."
In this statement, the dentists are the authority the argument depends on.
Answer: Some individuals feel that by understanding the needs, emotions, and behaviors of others, those in authority can use the information in harmful ways that violate human rights or in ways to manipulate, fool or persuade individuals to do things they would not otherwise do.
