Study Notes
Conformity and Social Influence
- Compliance vs Internalization: The main difference between compliance and internalization is that compliance involves publicly changing behavior to fit in with the group, but not necessarily agreeing with them privately, whereas internalization involves both public and private acceptance.
Compliance
- Definition: Compliance is a type of conformity where an individual publicly changes their behavior to fit in with the group, but may not necessarily agree with them privately.
- Example: A person wears a uniform to work because it's required, but may not personally like the uniform.
Internalization
- Definition: Internalization is a type of conformity where an individual publicly and privately agrees with the group, resulting in a genuine change in behavior and attitude.
- Distinguishing feature: What distinguishes internalization from compliance is that internalization involves a genuine acceptance and agreement with the group, rather than just superficially changing behavior to fit in.
