Explain Factors affecting conformity.
Factors Affecting Conformity
Conformity, or adjusting behavior to match group norms, is influenced by various factors. Group size plays a role, with larger groups often exerting more pressure. The unanimity of the group, social identity, and cultural dimensions impact conformity levels. The presence of dissenting voices, the ambiguity of the task or situation, and the individual's self-esteem contribute to conformity. Normative social influence, seeking approval, and informational social influence, relying on others for guidance, also affect conformity. Understanding these factors provides insights into the complex dynamics influencing individual adherence to group norms.
