I've heard that predatory types, use 4 or 5 techniques in order to mentally ensnare their targets. Do you know what some of those methods might be?

According to research conducted by Dr. Randy Korman, predators utilize four main tactics to mentally manipulate their victims into staying in their sphere of influence. The four tactics used are: 
1. Gaining Trust Through Flattery: predators use flattery and kind words to gain trust.
2. Emotional Manipulation: predators try to control how their victims feel, in order to make them compliant. 
3. Interrogation: predators use questions to gather personal information that can be used to control their victims.
4. Dismissing and Discounting Concerns: predators don't take seriously any criticisms leveled against them, in order to make their victims less likely to challenge them.
