@piou_piou Thank you!Why is the word “manipulation” used here? What does manipulation mean? We are psychology graduate students and want to translate psychological scales, but we are a little confused about whether the “manipulation” here is compulsive or not?

I would say it's neutral here, neither initiative nor compulsive.
"Manipulate" here roughly means "convince". Verbal persuasion, not physical coercion.
