Aperçu du contenu

Types of Conformity
CONFORMITY
Type of social influence that describes how a person changes their attitude or behaviour in
response to group pressure

TYPES OF CONFORMITY
COMPLIANCE • Person only changes their behaviour in the public
• Hope to achieve a favourable reaction from others
IDENTIFICATION • Person changes their public behaviour and private beliefs only in the
presence of a group
• Wanting to fit into a group, or to be associated with them
INTERNALISATION • Person changes their public behaviour and private beliefs
• Content of behaviour aligns with their value system

EXPLANATIONS FOR CONFORMITY
NORMATIVE SOCIAL • Person conforms to be accepted, and to feel that they belong to a
INFLUENCE group
(Compliance, • Usually a short-term change
Identification)
INFORMATIONAL • Person conforms to gain knowledge, or because they believe that
SOCIAL INFLUENCE someone else is right
(Internalisation) • Usually a long-term change

ASCH (1951)
Sample Size: 123 male undergraduate students
Method: Participants were asked to compare lengths of three lines to a standard line, and
placed in groups with confederates
• Total of 18 trials, with confederates giving the same incorrect answer on 12 trials
Results: 33% conformity rate, with participants knowing that their answers incorrect but going
along with the majority to fit in, as they were afraid they would be ridiculed

EVALUATION
Limitations

Low external validity: lacks population validity, ecological validity and historical validity
• Lacks Population Validity: Biased sample of male students from America, cannot be
generalised to other populations
• Lacks mundane realism: Artificial task that does not reflect conformity in everyday life
• Lacks historical validity: Asch’s experiment took place in 1950 when conformity was arguably
higher in the US, and may not provide an accurate reflection of conformity in modern times
Broke ethical guidelines: Deception and protection from harm
Required deception to achieve valid results, or participants would. have displayed demand
characteristics and acted differently
Most people displayed independent behaviour rather than conformity
Only 33% of the people conformed, so 66% of people resolutely stuck to their original
judgement even though they were faced with an overwhelming majority expressing a totally
different view
