Document Summary

In many social settings, especially in groups, people are highly dependent on others. This dependence sets the stage for influence to occur. Information dependence is the reliance on others for information about how to think, feel, and act. It gives other the opportunity to influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions via the signal they send to us. Individuals usually compare thoughts, feelings, and actions as a means of acquiring information. Individuals are dependent on the effects" of their behaviour as determined by the rewards and punishments provided by others. Effect dependence is the reliance on others due to their capacity to provide rewards and punishment. First, the group frequently has a vested interest in how individual members think and act because such matters can affect the goal attainment of the group: second, the member frequently desires the approval of the group.
