Document Summary
Explain compliance and the principles that are used to facilitate its occurrence. Conformity: adjusting one"s attitudes and behaviour to coincide with a group norm. Social norms: informal rules defining the expected and appropriate behaviour in specific situations. Normative influence: person conforms because they fear the consequences of deviating from group norms: going along with the group may also result from not wanting to be left out. Private conformity: where an individual changes behaviours and beliefs to conform to a group, produced by information influence. Public conformity: individual changes behaviours but not beliefs to conform to a group, produced by normative influence. Obedience: compliant behaviour produced by the commands of authority. Obedience is an evolutionary behaviour, getting people to work together under a direct command, or preventing children for hurting themselves while exploring/learning. Obedience depends on various factors including proximity to authority figure and victim, legitimacy of authority figure, presence of dissenting allies, use of incremental request, and personal responsibility.
