out?

CONFORMITY• Changed induced by general rules
concerning what behavior is appropriate or required in a given situation.
• Pressure to behave in ways that are viewed as acceptable or appropriate by a group or society generally.
![Page 8: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SOCIAL NORMS— Rules indicating how individuals are expected to behave in specific situations.

AUTOKINETIC PHENOMENON (MUZAFER SHERIF)
o The apparent movement of a single stationary source of light in a dark room.
o Often used to study the emergence of norms and social influence.
“When placed in a dark tunnel, tendency is to move towards the light, same goes for norm because people don’t know what to do without rules so they follow if there is one.”

![Page 12: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
FACTORS AFFECTING CONFORMITY
Group Size— The larger the group (8 or more), the greater the number of people who behave in some specific way, the greater our tendency to conform.
![Page 13: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FACTORS AFFECTING CONFORMITY

![Page 14: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FACTORS AFFECTING CONFORMITY

SOCIAL ROOTS OF CONFORMITYWhy do people choose to go along? It is because of two factors:
Normative Social Influence• The desire to be liked.
Informational Social Influence• The desire to be right.
![Page 16: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FACTORS WHY WE CHOOSE
NOT TO CONFORM
First
The need to maintain Individuality.
Second
The desire for personal control.
Third
Norms that encourage individualism.
![Page 17: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
FACTORS IN WHICH THE MINORITY CAN
SOMETIMES INFLUENCE THE
MAJORITY
First
Must be consistent in their opposition.
Second
Must avoid appearing rigid or dogmatic
Third

• Solomon Asch (1955) studied conformity to see if people would conform to an obviously wrong opinion.
• 1/3 of participants went along with the obviously incorrect consensus.

CONFORMITY• Participants on Asch’s experiment
conformed because of the normative social influence.
• They did not want to stand out from the group and face possible ridicule; they wanted to be part of the in-group.
![Page 21: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

• For instance, if the goal of helping others is triggered, then we may become more helpful.
• Our goals may affect our behavior.

PERCEPTUAL CONTRAST• A principle in human perception; it
affects the way we see the difference between two things that are presented one after another.
• Simply put, if the second item is fairly different from the first, we will tend to see it more different than it actually is.

OBEDIENCE— Social Influence in which one
person simply orders one or more others to do what they want.
![Page 63: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Not much is to be said regarding obedience, only that it is unparalleled in controlling people because it is exhibited by people in power especially authorities in position. Stanley Milgram’s famous experiment, “Destructive Obedience,” is to be remembered.
![Page 64: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
• The Milgram experiment on obedience to authority figures was a series of notable social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram
• Which measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with their personal conscience.
MILGRAM EXPERIMENT
![Page 65: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
“Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority.”
![Page 66: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

FACTORS THAT CAUSE DESTRUCTIVE OBEDIENCE
Persons in authority assume responsibility
Persons in authority often have visible signs of their
status and power
Commands are gradual in nature, and do not start
out with orders to perform extreme actions
Events move at fast pace, giving the persons involved
little chance to consider their options
Strong tendency to
obey
![Page 68: Social Psychology - Social Influence](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042509/547a479fb4af9f86288b4971/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Individuals must remind themselves that they, not
the authorities, are responsible for any hard
produced
Individuals must have a clear indication that total submission to destructive
commands is inappropriate
Individuals may find it easier to resist influence
from authority if they question the expertise and
motives of these figures
Simply knowing about the power of authority figures
to command blind obedience may be helpful in
itself
How to resist D.O.
