Solution
Social influence refers to the process by which individuals’ thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are affected by others. It plays a key role in shaping how people act in groups, follow norms, and respond to authority.
There are three major types of social influence:
- Conformity – changing one’s behavior to match the group.
- Compliance – agreeing to a request or suggestion.
- Obedience – following direct orders from an authority figure.
Social influence can be subtle or direct, and it helps maintain order, social norms, and group cohesion.
