Conformity

Conformity: 2 Types• Normative influence–We conform to the group’s rules
in order to fit in, be accepted, be liked, or avoid dislike.

Conformity: 2 Types• Informational influence– When a situation is ambiguous we will use
other people’s behavior as information for how to act. We thus conform to the group in order to be accurate. However, other people’s behavior may not be the right behavior.

Pluralistic Ignorance Phenomenon whereby
bystanders assume that nothing is wrong because no one else looks concerned. When all bystanders assume that no one else is upset or concerned, then all assume it is not a problem, and NOBODY HELPS!

intervene• Felt my safety would be at risk

Reasons We Did Intervene• It was the right thing to do• We should look out for each other• I would want someone to help me

escalate • To preserve the reputation of my
friends, organization, team, etc.
