King's discussion is pertinent to the British defence and security agenda, where influence was recently named as a key objective and capability. I argue that as stakeholders, it is our obligation to monitor the application of our psychological science in order to minimize or avoid the risks of its misinterpretation and misapplication. Academic scholars could contribute in a number of ways to military social influence campaigns. In doing so, we may realize that our understanding of social influence is limited. Future research on influence ought to consider its relevance for the social world we now live in. Adapted from the source document.

The article examines how the study that resulted in Personal Influence came to be funded by True Story magazine. It does so by looking at Lazarsfeld's research career. Lazarsfeld is seen as an institutional innovator in higher education, having established in Vienna in 1925 the first social science research center of its kind in the world, and later the Bureau of Applied Social Research at Columbia University. The structural situation of the Bureau is examined in detail, showing how Lazarsfeld developed the role of entrepreneurial scholar to finance its operations. The article examines Lazarsfeld's psychological makeup, which meshed well with the world of business as well as the Bureau's need for commercial fund-raising. Having given the context of Lazarsfeld's operations, the final part of the article examines how the study was "sold" to True Storymagazine.

The author presents two critiques of King's (2010) examination of U.S. military social influence activities her discussion of five competing conceptions of the relationship between social influence and war. It is proposed that the views presented are in fact complementary but also difficult to compare because they reflect different issues. The second critique concerns King's failure to discuss how behavioral scientists might contribute to the area. It is proposed that significant contributions could be made in assisting the military with validation studies that assess the effectiveness of influence techniques, training, and achieving desired effects.

Für Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt sind die Influencer symptomatische Sozialfiguren unserer Zeit. In der Abstiegsgesellschaft scheinen noch einmal Aufstiegsträume wahr zu werden, der Spätkapitalismus hübscht sein Gesicht mit Filtern und Photoshop auf, mit einer revolutionären Form der Werbung komplettieren Instagrammer und Youtuber das Geschäftsmodell des kommerziellen Internets. Bei aller ausgestellten Modernität, so Nymoen und Schmitt, beeinflussen die Influencer jedoch noch in einer weiteren Hinsicht den Zeitgeist: Indem sie rückwärtsgewandte Rollenbilder, Konsumismus und rigide Körpernormen propagieren, leisten sie einem konservativen Backlash Vorschub. "Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt haben ein Buch über Influencer geschrieben. Es könnte spannend sein, wenn der herablassende Ton nicht wäre" (jetzt.de)
