There was evidence to suggest that among those with higher EI scores, men were more inclined to antisocial manipulation and women were more inclined to prosocial manipulation.

Manipulation or emotional manipulation is behavior designed to exploit, control, or otherwise influence others to one’s advantage.[1] Definitions vary in which behavior is specifically included, influenced by both culture and whether used in clinical or non-clinical contexts.[2] Skills necessary for manipulation can be used for both prosocial and antisocial purposes.[3] Antisocial or non-prosocial manipulation has been described as using "skills to advance their own agendas or self-serving motives at the expense of others",[3] whereas prosocial behavior is "a voluntary act intended to help or benefit another individual or group of individuals".[4]
Manipulation is a key aspect of the Machiavellianism personality trait, which involves high levels of deception and emotional and moral indifference towards others.[5]
Manipulation differs from social influence and persuasion in its coercive nature. Social influence and persuasion are generally perceived to respect the right of the influenced to accept or reject it, so they are usually not considered coercive.[6] Persuasion is a type of influence, usually within the context of a specific goal.
Types
Operant conditioning
Presentations vary depending on the underlying cause of the manipulation. One approach for describing different manipulative behaviors is by categorising them into different methods of operant conditioning.[7]
Reinforcement is used to increase the frequency of a behavior. Positive reinforcement presents rewards like praise, superficial charm, superficial sympathy (crocodile tears), excessive apologizing, money, approval, gifts, attention, facial expressions such as a forced laugh or smile, and public recognition. Intermittent reinforcement can create a climate of fear and doubt, which can encourage victims to not seek help or change behavior.
Punishment is used to decrease the frequency of a behavior. Positive punishments presents aversive stimuli, which can include nagging, yelling, intimidation, threats, swearing, emotional blackmail, guilt trips, sulking, crying, and playing the victim. Negative punishments remove rewards, like the removal of social interactions with the silent treatment. Punishments can also lead to dominance or superiority (see "dual strategies theory").
Etiology
Risk factors for experiencing manipulation
People exhibiting manipulative behavior may use vulnerabilities of other individuals to their advantage, such as suffering from low self-esteem or self-doubts, lacking in confidence and assertiveness, or defensiveness. Emotional codependence is also a vulnerability,[8] as naïve or immature individuals can be in denial that they are being taken advantage of, or have difficulty accepting that some people utilize manipulation.[8][9] Intellectualizing manipulative behavior may lead victims to believe that they have some understandable or acceptable reason to be manipulative.[8] Over-agreeable or submissive individuals with higher than appropriate levels of trust can also be a risk factor.[8]
Motivations
There are various possible situational motivations for manipulative behavior, including to advance purposes and personal gain,[7] to attain feelings of power and superiority in relationships with others,[10] to feel in control,[7] to boost self-esteem,[7] boredom, or growing tired of one's surroundings; seeing manipulation as a game,[7] and covert agendas, criminal or otherwise, including financial manipulation.[7]
Predispositions
A 2020 meta-analysis demonstrated a moderate correlation between emotional intelligence (EI) and manipulation, which is affected by gender, although there was some uncertainty due to conflicting results.[3] Higher levels of EI generally corresponded to higher levels of both prosocial and antisocial manipulation. There was evidence to suggest that among those with higher EI scores, men were more inclined to antisocial manipulation and women were more inclined to prosocial manipulation. Prior to this conclusion it was suspected that for manipulation to occur, both a willingness and ability to manipulate are necessary preconditions, and willingness to manipulate can be difficult to measure accurately.[11]
There is also evidence that high levels of manipulation and Machiavellianism corresponded to lower results in a variety of interpersonal effectiveness metrics, including gaining and maintaining friendships, lower access to validation and intimacy, and emotional security. Higher scores also corresponded with perceiving more instances of manipulation from others.[12]
No correlation has been found between intelligence and high levels of manipulative behavior or Machiavellianism.[13] A theory in 2015 was proposed, explaining that the higher proficiency of manipulative behavior in people with high Machiavellianism personality trait values may result from a cognitive specialization.[13]
Mental illness
Individuals with certain personality disorders chronically exhibit manipulative behavior, including antisocial personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.[14]
The large stigma associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often inaccurately casts behavior of those with BPD pejoratively as manipulative and attention seeking.[15][2] Marsha M. Linehan has stated that people with borderline personality disorder often exhibit behaviors which are not truly manipulative, but are erroneously interpreted as such.[16] According to Linehan, these behaviors often appear as unthinking manifestations of intense pain, and are often not deliberate as to be considered truly manipulative. In the DSM-V, manipulation was removed as a defining characteristic of borderline personality disorder.[15]
Behavior from factitious disorders may appear manipulative, although according to the DSM-5 the behavior is more accurately described as deceptive.[14] This is because, according to the DSM-5 criteria, "The deceptive behavior [of those with a factitious disorder] is evident even in the absence of obvious external rewards".[14]
Assessment
Emotional manipulation scale
The emotional manipulation scale (EMS) was developed in 2007 through factor analysis, primarily to measure the capability of manipulative behavior and the Machiavellianism personality trait.[17] At the time of publication, emotional intelligence assessments did not specifically examine manipulative behavior or Machiavellianism and were instead predominantly focussed on Big Five personality trait assessment.
Managing the emotions of others scale
The Managing the emotions of others scale (MEOS) was developed in 2013 through factor analysis to measure the ability of changing emotions of others.[18] The factor analysis led to six categories: mood (or emotional state) enhancement, mood worsening, concealing emotions, capacity for inauthenticity, poor emotion skills, and using diversion to enhance mood. The enhancement, worsening and diversion categories have been used to identify the ability and willingness of manipulative behavior, both prosocial and antisocial.[3] The MEOS has also been used for assessing emotional intelligence, and has been compared to the HEXACO model of personality structure, for which the capacity for inauthenticity category in the MEOS was found to correspond to low honesty-humility scores on the HEXACO.[19]
