Conformity
-
Social Norms: The implicit or explicit rules a group has for the acceptable behaviors, values, and beliefs of its members
Informational Social Influence: Relying on other people as a source of information to guide our behavior; we conform because we believe that others’ interpretation of an ambiguous situation is correct and can help us choose an appropriate course of action
Social Impact Theory: The idea that conforming to social influence depends on the group’s importance, immediacy, and the number of people in the group
Propaganda: A deliberate, systematic attempt to advance a cause by manipulating mass attitudes and behaviors, often through misleading or emotionally charged information
Foot-in-the-Door Technique: Social influence strategy in which getting people to agree first to a small request makes them more likely to agree later to a second, larger request
Door-in-the-Face Technique: Social influence strategy in which first asking people for a large request that they will probably refuse makes them more likely to agree later to a second, smaller request
Normative Social Influence:Going along with what other people do in order to be liked and accepted by them; we publicly conform with the group’s beliefs and behaviors but do not always privately accept them
Normative Conformity
Descriptive Norms: People’s perceptions of how people actually behave in given situations, regardless of whether the behavior is approved or disapproved of by others

Transactional Leaders: Leaders who set clear, short-term goals and reward people who meet them
