Subliminal communication is part of.

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2023 Home Science Question Paper (13-Dec-2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Political propaganda

Subliminal communication means transmitting messages below the threshold of conscious awareness. The receiver does not consciously register the stimulus — a fleeting image, a faint sound, an embedded symbol or emotional cue — yet it can still nudge attitudes, feelings and behaviour. Its whole power depends on the audience not knowing they are being influenced.

This makes it fit most naturally with political propaganda. Propaganda seeks to shape public opinion, arouse emotion and steer voter behaviour, and it freely mixes overt appeals with covert, below-the-radar cues — loaded imagery, suggestive music, symbolic associations — precisely the kind of hidden persuasion that subliminal communication describes. So subliminal communication is properly a part of political propaganda.

A government notification is the opposite: it is formal, explicit and legally bound to be transparent and unambiguous, leaving no room for hidden persuasion.

Legal documentation depends on precise, literal, consciously understood wording; any subliminal or hidden element would defeat its very purpose and could void its validity.

Research reports demand clarity, objectivity and conscious comprehension of evidence; concealed persuasive cues would compromise their credibility. None of these three tolerates below-awareness messaging.

Therefore subliminal communication is part of Political propaganda.
