propaganda noun [U]. âº âinformation or âideas that are âspread by an âorganized âgroup or âgovernment to âinfluence peopleâs âopinions, esp. by not giving all the âfacts or by secretly âemphasizing only one way of âlooking at the âfacts.
A knowledge of the psychological mechanisms involved in the perception of propaganda is of great importance in increasing the effectiveness of propaganda. The perception of propaganda is determined by the audienceâs system of attitudes, as well as by its selective evaluation of the information that has been presented. One of the conditions for effective propaganda is reinforcement of the ideas, knowledge, and opinions disseminated, through practical action by the masses.
