The most effective type of single tactic persuasion in
persuasive programming is logos. This is because people are easily convinced by
the truth especially with the use of statistics, historical and literal analogies
and established names related to the field of expertise. People regard
intelligence as tantamount to preciseness.
The least effective type is the pathos. There are instances
when people are at war of their emotions especially in decision-making because it
creates doubt or confusion to be persuaded by biased judgment. It requires
consideration of other useful factors before resorting to emotional attachment.
