Suggestibility
type: Ontology
creator: Rana Coskun
comment: Suggestibility refers to the degree to which a person's thoughts, feelings, or actions are influenced by cues or suggestions from others. It involves the likelihood of accepting and acting upon the suggestions of others. Suggestibility can vary greatly among individuals and can depend on various factors, including the person's state of mind, trust in the source of the suggestion, and susceptibility to social influence. In psychological contexts, suggestibility is often studied in relation to memory, hypnosis, and social influence, exploring how external suggestions can modify a person's perceptions, memories, and behaviors.

Subjective Influence
type: Class
comment: An Agent, Situation or Entity has an influence on a Cognizer. The influence may be general; or it may be manifested in the Cognizer's engaging in an Action as a consequence of the influence; or the Cognizer may be influenced in how they carry out a Behavior that they are engaged in already. Alternatively, a Product may be specified whose production or design was influenced by the Cognizer's experience of the Situation or Entity. The mediation of the Cognizer's psyche distinguishes this frame from the Objective_influence frame, where dependent events occur automatically given the appropriate kind of influencing force. In this frame, by contrast, a Cognizer may perceive an influence yet not respond to it in any way. These works had a profound effect and influenced her in the creation of a successful series capturing this sun-drenched region. I'm sure if I asked Mattel what inspired this car I would be told it's an original design, and not supposed to represent any actual car.
