I recommend Calo's "Digital Market Manipulation." It's a law journal article, but it is very accessible to a non-legal audience. He provides an overview of Thaler's "nudging" theory, among other work and also offers some good terminology. My original email on this included the article as an attachment, but that email was rejected. You should be able to find the article. Here is the cite: Calo, R. (2013). Digital Market Manipulation. George Washington Law Review, 82, 995.

It will cover the basics of persuasion and also look at some specific areas. The specific areas I want to cover are consumer persuasion, social engineering/hacking, online radicalisation, and political persuasion. I’m looking for some decent intro readings for those areas - bearing in mind that we won’t be able to cover it all in depth - it’s more of an overview that they can go further into themselves. If any of you have suggestions I’d be very grateful. If any of those are from underrepresented groups of researchers (BEM/women etc) that would be fantastic! Thanks in advance.
