Describe two ways rewards can be used to make people conform
Answers
Answer:
Conformity is a type of social influence involving a change in belief or behavior in order to fit in with a group. This change is in response to real (involving the physical presence of others) or imagined (involving the pressure of social norms / expectations) group pressure.
Answer:
Social conformity and obedience are two very powerful phenomenons in human behavior and sociology. In this lesson, we discuss the two types of social conformity and differentiate between conformity and obedience. We also discuss two famous experiments by Solomon Asch and Stanley Milgram.Social Conformity
Imagine you've volunteered for a study. You arrive and sit at the end of a row that has four other participants. The presenter gives you two cards: one has one line, and the other has three lines. You are asked to compare the length of the one line with the other three to determine which is the same length as the original line. The other participants give their answers, one by one. They unanimously give an answer that is clearly wrong. When it's your turn, do you change your answer to match theirs, or do you stick with the answer you know is correct?Normative Conformity
Normative conformity is conformity that occurs because of the desire to be liked and accepted. Most people probably think of peer pressure amongst teens when they think of normative conformity, and for good reason. Most teens and pre-teens are particularly vulnerable to influence because they long to be accepted by their peers. I'm sure when you were a teenager you heard the phrase, 'If all of your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?' Peer pressure is certainly a good example of normative conformity, but it happens to adults, too.
