Detailed explanation-1: -Normative Social Influence is where a person conforms in order to be accepted and belong to a group. They do this because it is socially rewarding and/or to avoid social rejection (e.g. ridicule for not ‘fitting in’).
Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. Normative influence refers to the fact that people sometimes change their behavior, thoughts, or values to be liked and accepted by others. This results in conformity, in the form of individuals altering their utterances or demeanor to be more like what they perceive to be the norm.
Detailed explanation-3: -Normative social influence is usually associated with compliance, where a person changes their public behavior but not their private beliefs. For example, a person may feel pressurised to smoke because the rest of their friends are.
