Here is a quote from Gene Gruhler's speaking on Sixth Grade gospel preaching to the children.

But usually when they are touched their eyes tear or something. You can tell when they are ready.

The psychological manipulation in the local churches is more effectively used on the females, I believe. The Local Church workers present propositions to create an emotional response. Men usually are more clinical, more questioning. Female listeners usually will get emotional. They're impacted by psychological pressure, and emotional appeal, then they uncritically accept the propositions at face value, and are emotionally committed.
Notice the male-centric population of this web site; people who question, who think of alternatives. Typically men are more analytical. (Of course I have known very analytical women, and very emotional men. I am making a generalization). Likewise the population of LSM associated Local Churches has more docile, unquestioning females. I believe that this is also why the Local Churches focus on young college students: they're open, vulnerable, unable to critically examine the propositions put forth by the full time Local Church workers on campus. So the workers get them to buy into a proposition, then emotionally commit. This "buy in" and "commitment" is more easily done with the typically more fragile and pliable female psyche.
