persuadability
Openness to influence
Persuadability is the quality of being open to changing one's mind when presented with new evidence or arguments.
Someone with high persuadability can be convinced to adopt different views, while low persuadability suggests stubbornness or firm conviction.
The term appears in psychology and political science to describe how receptive individuals or populations are to influence.
Voters with high persuadability became the campaign's primary target.
