Anger for sure when people are upset they say things they don’t mean and very dumb things normally forget what they wanted to do or the best moral choice

Anger because when people are angry they usually don’t act before they think.

It is probably best to invoke the emotions of compassion and pride because it makes the person feel good or care about what you want them to act on

Probably anger? it is definitely easier to get someone to be mad at you for multiple different reasons. Usually when you try to get a response from someone you do things to bother or annoy them.

I believe that fear is a good choice for an emotion to invoke in order to get someone to do something. Fear is a powerful motivator because it makes us uncomfortable, and we want to move away from that discomfort toward our comfort zone.

Another one could be pride. Fear may work in the short term to get people to do something, but over the long run, I believe personal pride is a much greater motivator. It produces far better results that last for a much longer time. Pride can motivate people to strive for success and act with compassion because it forces us to consider others' viewpoints and opinions, as well as our own.

Probably the emotion of passion, because if you are try to convince someone to do something you can try and get them to be passionate.

the strongest emotion to invoke someone would be anger/love, depending on what you would like the to act on. they can be angry that something bad is happening to something they love

you could stress them out enough to get them to do it or just get mad at them or talk somewhat nice about it.

using logic is one of the easiest ways to get someone to do something and so is bribing people

Love because that is one of the strongest emotions humans have

Usually if you make people angry they will react more than any other emotion

I would say either anger, shame, or frustration. I say anger because if you get someone riled up and play to the fact that they can't do something some people will want to try and prove them wrong. I say shame because feeling embarresed is the worst and no one wants to be the only person who didn't do it. Frustration is a maybe because either it can shut people down or make them want to do the task as fast as possible.

Nostalgia is a strong emotion to get people to act or buy something.

I think the strongest emotion is anger but it is not the best for getting people to do things. People tend to get more irrational when they are angry, but also people can use anger in a good way. If you are angry you can do something about what makes them angry. If used in the right way people can use the anger to change something. Anger and compassion can get people to do different things for different reasons.

Anger because people lack thinking when mad

It can be a combination of fear and anger because anger makes people think irrationally, which causes them to follow your cause more due to not truly knowing what you are doing. Fear can also make people motivated because it can make people act on something that they don't like to do in order to escape something that will happen if they don't do the action.

I would think fear or anger. You become more irrational when you're angry or scared, making impulse/irrational decisions.
