Question: “Does the emotional confront play an essential role in the attractiveness of the cults?”
John Patrick Pederson, the psychologist at the institute, California has argued to explain why people are drawn to cults that human beings’ enthusiasm to our comfort leads us to seek people or things that can ease our fear and anxiety.
The desire to make the inner evils is not a negative characteristic in itself. I argue that it is an effective adaptation, on the contrary. It allows us to cope with minor and major stresses which regularly bombard us.
Anyway; making promises which are virtually unattainable and can’t be found in any part of the community, the cult leaders meet these needs. According to Pederson it can include “complete financial health and eternal life.”
In addition to exploiting human’s desire to emotional tranquility, the cult leaders don’t possess the best intention concerning their followers’ spirit health.
The psychologist Mark Banshik has pointed out that the cult leaders use the techniques of mind and behavior control which are focus on cutting relationships between followers and the outside world
