Influence is always gained with Kreia if she's in your party and in range:

Kreia: Well executed - you have created an echo, something that will travel for some time. You are learning much.
Influence Gained: Kreia

Dialog

1. And what would you have done? 2. That'd better not be mockery in your tone. Kreia: Do not mistake my tone. I was not faulting your choice. Far from it, I respect it - there are many who never learn such strength. 3. When I seek your opinion, I shall ask for it. Be silent. 2. Enough talking. Let's continue on. 3. We are finished here - come with me. Kreia: Very well. I shall keep such thoughts to myself.

Influence is only gained with Visas if she's in your party and in range, and Kreia isn't:

Visas: Your acts are subtle indeed - much can be born from such manipulations.	Influence Gained: Visas

Hanharr is supposed to be influenced by cunning actions, but his dialog doesn't trigger properly.

When you perform a psychotic action, priority of influence is given to any member of your party present for the first time, starting with Kreia:

Kreia: Are psychotic urges all that drives you?	Influence Lost: Kreia (-8)

You can also gain influence with other members of your party as you lose influence with her, even some with whom you normally lose influence due to a psychotic action:

Atton: I... don't know what even came over me. One second we were just standing there, talking, and then...	Disciple: What happened? I.... Why did we just do that? That innocent! They meant us no harm.
Influence Gained: Atton (+8)	Influence Gained: Disciple (+1)
Kreia: I am not speaking to you, fool. Be silent!

Bao-Dur: What happened? One moment, we were speaking, rationally, and then I felt this rage...	Handmaiden: The stance of our enemy was unthreatening, more surprised than anything, and then we... then I...
Influence Gained: Bao-Dur (+1)	Influence Gained: Handmaiden (+1)
Kreia: I am not speaking to you, alien. Be silent!	Kreia: I am not speaking to you, slave of Atris. Be silent!

Dialog

Mandalore: The strong take what they want. The weak fall. Visas: Never have I felt the rush of battle - so quick or sudden. Kreia: I am not speaking to you, fool. Be silent! Kreia: I am not speaking to you, slave. Be silent! Mira: Why... what did we just do? We didn't need t- Hanharr: Blood is on ryshoykkr trees... it was good to kill, it has been too long since we last tasted prey. Kreia: I am not speaking to you, girl. Be silent! Kreia: Be silent, beast! I am not talking to you. HK-47: Statement: Oh, master, that was refreshing. Nothing like a spontaneous impulsive extermination to make my behavior core glow. G0-T0: I fail to see the economic benefit in such a termination. The cost in the long run- Kreia: Silence, droid! I am not speaking to you. T3-M4: Dwooooo. Kreia: Did you have any reason behind what you did? Or were you blinded by bloodlust? 1. I didn't see you holding back. Kreia: When one of us is committed to battle, then all of us are committed. We must stand together.

2. And what would you have done?
Kreia: I would examine the situation as a whole, all of its ties to the Force, and then decided which string to pull, not sever them all at once. Such crude methods grant you nothing.
1. They inspire fear, and respect.	2. Perhaps you are right.	Influence Gain: Kreia (+1)

Dialog

Kreia: Perhaps... but not from those who matter. Kreia: Perhaps... and perhaps in the future, you will remember such a lesson. There are many paths in life, and some are short - and empty. Otherwise: 3. When I seek your opinion, I shall ask for it. Be silent. 4. I do not need your "advice"... or your judgments. 5. Keep pressing me on this, and I'll add your body to the pile. Kreia: I grow weary of this. Perhaps time will allow my words to take root if your common sense will not permit it.

Otherwise, influence can be gained with Visas or Atton:

Visas: It is strange... as you acted, suddenly I acted. It is like we were fighting in tandem, as a Force Bond, though I do not feel the same connection. Your impulse to kill, to attack that one - I felt it mirrored in me. It was a strange sensation. It was as if I had no choice in the matter.
Influence Gained: Visas (+8)

Dialog

1. Force bonds? 1. You mentioned Force bonds? Visas: Yes, that bond that develops between master and their apprentice - or between those that feel the Force. Traumatic moments can bind - just as proximity and slow growth may bind as well. 2. You always have a choice - and you made the right one. Visas: Perhaps. Nevertheless... the impulse was strong. 3. Enough - let us continue on. 3. Just be silent. We have work to do.

Atton: What... what just happened? One minute, we were just talking... and then... I just lost control.
Influence Gained: Atton (+8)

Dialog

1. I didn't see you stopping the attack. Atton: I don't have a problem with it, you just should choose your targets a little more carefully. And not be so conspicuous about how it's done. Otherwise: 2. Don't worry about it - we had no choice. 3. Are you all right? 4. Just check the corpse for anything of value. 5. Be quiet and follow my lead. Atton: It's like this... impulse just came over me, I couldn't stop myself. Atton: Next time, warn me - if you're out to kill someone, don't surprise me like that.

Influence can be lost with Handmaiden, Disciple, Bao-Dur, Mira or T3-M4:

Handmaiden: Their stance was unthreatening - that one meant us no harm. I do not understand why we attacked. I have fought in self-defense, in battle, but never like this.
Influence Lost: Handmaiden (-8)

Dialog

5. Enough - let's secure the area. Otherwise: 1. You get used to it. 2. Then why did you join me in the attack? 3. Others must know their place. This one's place was to die. 4. You must know your place. Either serve with me, or leave. Handmaiden: I do not know. As soon as your stance changed, so did mine... it was a strange thing. Handmaiden: Echani are taught to be prepared for any battle, at any time. We are trained to predict each battle several movements in advance - and any great battle several hours in advance. 1. Are all Echani like that? That sounds like precognition. 2. So? Handmaiden: The true Echani, the greatest of our teachers, are said to be able to predict the path of wars, of battles, years in advance. Handmaiden: Yet this attack I was unprepared for. I did not anticipate it, yet as you acted, I acted as well. I am not used to such things.

Disciple: That one meant us no harm. Yet we attacked - I attacked. I do not understand why.
Influence Lost: Disciple (-8)

Dialog
5. Enough - let's secure the area. Otherwise: 1. Just remember your place. 2. I didn't see you stopping to ask that while we were attacking. 3. It had to be done. 4. Because I am the leader, that is why. Disciple: I must reflect on this - perhaps I am changing somehow, or simply do not know myself.

Bao-Dur: We have seen much during the war. Is it your wish to continue causing such suffering?
Influence Lost: Bao-Dur (-8)

Dialog
3. Enough - let's secure the area. Otherwise: 1. Only the weak suffer. The strong endure. 2. Then why didn't you stop the attack? Bao-Dur: As always, General, when you lead, I shall follow. But it is only because we have been through so much together.

Mira: Why did we... why did I just do that? There was no reason to, but suddenly... suddenly this urge came over me.
Influence Lost: Mira (-8)

Dialog
1. Maybe you should have stopped yourself - but you didn't, did you? 2. It becomes easier with time. Accept it. Mira: I... didn't like it. It felt wrong, but I couldn't help myself. 3. Enough - let's secure the area. 1. Save your introspection for someone who cares. Now let's go.

T3-M4: Deet-Doot-Deet?	Influence Lost: T3-M4 (-8)

Dialog
1. Such actions are sometimes necessary, T3. 2. Don't question my actions, droid. 3. Be quiet or I'll sell you to some junk dealer! T3-M4: Dwooooo.

Influence can be gained with HK-47, G0-T0, Mandalore or Hanharr:

HK-47: Statement: Master, there are times when your actions make my behavior core glow.	G0-T0: Such acts are effective and often, needed.
Influence Gained: HK-47 (+8)	Influence Gained: G0-T0 (+8)

Mandalore: That one had it coming.	Hanharr: Establish you are the stronger in all things, and others shall fear you.
Influence Gained: Mandalore (+8)	Influence Gained: Hanharr (+8)

Once both members of your party have been present for a psychotic action, priority of influence is given to the following:

Kreia: Your brutality grows tiresome.	Kreia: Is your bloodlust finally satisfied?
Kreia: Such displays are not the signs of true strength.	Influence Lost: Kreia (-8)

Visas: As you command, I follow.	Visas: That one will trouble us no more.
Visas: Your will to act becomes my will.	Influence Gained: Visas (+8)

Atton: Good thing we got the drop on him before he knew what was happening.		Atton: That felt good.
Atton: Glad we got the drop on him.	Atton: Why did we do that? Why did I do that?
Atton: He had it coming.	Influence Gained: Atton (+8)

Handmaiden: I do not understand why we attacked.	Handmaiden: I do not understand why we executed that one.
Handmaiden: Such acts do much to condemn the Jedi name.	Handmaiden: That was unnecessarily cruel.
Handmaiden: I see why the Jedi exiled you.	Influence Lost: Handmaiden (-8)

Disciple: That one meant us no harm.	Disciple: When you act... so do I.
Disciple: I do not know what compelled me to attack.	Influence Lost: Disciple (-8)

Bao-Dur: That was not a battle we needed to fight, General.	Bao-Dur: If you persist, then the Mandalorians truly won.
Bao-Dur: That was an act of a Mandalorian.	Bao-Dur: You lead, I follow.
Bao-Dur: We fought the Mandalorians, now I find myself acting like them.		Influence Lost: Bao-Dur (-8)

Mira: I... can't believe we just attacked like that.	Mira: What did we gain by that?
Mira: There's no credits in acting like Hanharr.	Mira: Being around you is starting to affect me.
Mira: You're acting like Hanharr.	Mira: I can't believe I just helped you do that.
Mira: What is your problem?	Mira: Why did we just do that?
Influence Lost: Mira (-8)

Priority of influence is more complicated for the droids, Hanharr and Mandalore:

Influence	Comment
Lost	T3-M4: Deet-Breet-Deet. Dwoooo.
Gained	Hanharr: The strong respect such strength - and the weak fear it.
Gained	HK-47: Query: That was wonderful, master - next time, may I try?
Gained	G0-T0: Instilling fear is a reminder of who truly wields power.
Gained	Mandalore: Good - that ought to shut them up.
Gained	HK-47: Observation: You display a fascinating variety of cruelties, master. It is difficult to catalogue them all.
Gained	G0-T0: To use a last resort first is often effective.
Gained	Mandalore: Next one should go down faster.
Gained	HK-47: Statement: Ah... seeing such cruelties inflicted on the weak gives me hope for all inferior organic meatbags.
Lost	T3-M4: Beep-Breet-Breeeet!
Gained	Hanharr: It is the place of prey to fear you.
