Welcome to Open Study !! > "Social Influence, Conformity, Obedience and Compliance" Social influence; It refers to our need to be right. Sometimes, an individual does not know what is the correct behavior for the particular circumstances. In these cases, the individual will look to and copy the behavior of others (e.g. modeling). The behavior of others provides information on what is the correct thing to do in this situation. There are three types of social influence 1) conformity 2) compliance 3) obedience Conformity Conformity involves developing attitudes, opinions, and behaviors to match the attitudes of a specific group. Most people conform to the standard values, also called norms, of many groups without stress and often without even knowing that they are doing so. From an early age, a process of making children conform starts and continues persistently eg. Don’t speak to strangers. Conformity is neither good nor bad. Some degree of conformity is necessary for societies to function. Let me Say an Example: The red light you see for traffic controls. When you stop at a red light, you are conforming to the law and to the general agreement that for the good and safety of society, a red light means stop. You stop, even though most of the time there is not a police officer on the scene to enforce the law. Definition: Conformity is defined as changing or adopting a behavior or an attitude in order to be consistent with the social norms of a group of the expectations of other people. Similarly in case of Obedience ( behaving in accordance with the rules and commands of those in authority ) and Compliance (acting in accordance with the wishes, suggestions, or direct requests of other people ) Hope it helps !
