What is the process of changing one's own behavior to match that of other people?
conformity, the process whereby people change their beliefs, attitudes, actions, or perceptions to more closely match those held by groups to which they belong or want to belong or by groups whose approval they desire. Conformity has important social implications and continues to be actively researched.
What are the 3 types of conformity?
Herbert Kelman identified three major types of conformity: compliance, identification, and internalization.
How does conformity influence behavior?
Succumbing to peer pressure could lead to risky or illegal behavior, such as underage drinking. Or, conformity might lead to a bystander effect, in which going along with the group means failing to act when someone is in need. A desire to conform might also limit your openness to new ideas or arguments.
Which of the following is the change in one's behavior by doing a request?
Obedience means changing your behavior to follow the demand given by an authority or an adult you have high regards with.
