This concept has gained prominence due to societal power imbalances and the prevalence of misinformation. Researchers have established a framework to better define and study gaslighting. Contemporary dialogues around gaslighting have been influenced by movements such as Me Too, raising awareness of its implications in relationships. Differentiating between genuine support and manipulative behaviors is crucial in accurately addressing gaslighting situations.
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that, over time, causes a victim to doubt their sense of reality, often leading to a loss of agency and emotional and mental instability.
Gaslighting is when one person tries to convince another that they shouldn't trust their own understanding of reality, and ability to make decisions. This is usually done to control and exploit the targeted person.
