message.
captive audience.
religious zealot
Solution
The answer is C: captive audience.
Explanation:
Communicator: While a communicator is often involved in various methods of attitude change, brainwashing specifically requires more than just a communicator. It involves controlling the environment and the audience.
Message: A message is a component of many attitude change methods, but brainwashing is distinct in its approach and intensity, often involving repetitive and coercive messaging.
Captive audience: Brainwashing is characterized by the presence of a captive audience. This means the individuals undergoing brainwashing are often in a situation where they cannot escape the influence, allowing for intense and prolonged exposure to the message.
Religious zealot: While some brainwashing scenarios may involve religious elements, the term "religious zealot" is not a defining characteristic of brainwashing itself. Brainwashing can occur in various contexts, not limited to religious ones.
