Not necessarily. Coercion is the process of the coercer controlling ( or
trying to ) someone else's behavior. There is no regard for the coercee.
problem with this though is that other behaviors might be taking place
either simultaneously with, or intermittently with, coercion. Coercion is
but a single aspect of our overall behavior.

I think if you tried a self MOL you would see this. It gets very complex,
 that is the CV's we control and how they change) very quickly. I think
describing something ( or more accurately, somebody )as _being_ such and
such, rather then it being an _aspect_ of ones behavior could easily skew
your perceptions of what someone might be controlling;; for.

Marc.
