Detailed explanation-1: -Several factors are associated with increased conformity, including larger group size, unanimity, high group cohesion, and perceived higher status of the group. Other factors associated with conformity are culture, gender, age, and importance of stimuli.
Detailed explanation-2: -Group Unanimity A person is more likely to conform when all members of the group agree and give the same answer. When one other person in the group gave a different answer from the others, and the group answer was not unanimous, conformity dropped.
Detailed explanation-3: -1. Informational social influence occurs when we conform in order to be correct; it leads to both private and public changes. 2. Normative social influence occurs when we conform in order to gain acceptance and avoid rejection; it leads to public changes but private disagreement.
Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to the three types of conformity (compliance, identification and internalisation) there are also two explanations of why people conform, including: normative social influence and informational social influence.
