Social Influence

  • Social influence refers to the changes in beliefs, attitudes, and/or behavior of persons as a result of the action/s of another person.
  • Types of social influence:
    • Compliance: a person seems to agree but does not necessarily believe or agree to it.
    • Identification: a person is influenced by someone they like or look up to, like a movie star or celebrity.
    • Internalization: a person owns a certain belief or act and is willing to make it known publicly or privately.
    • Conformity: a change of behavior, belief, or thinking to be like others or to feel like they belong to a group (most common form of social influence).
    • Conversion: an individual whole-heartedly changes their original thinking to align with those of the other members of the group.
    • Minority influence: a bigger member of people is influenced by a much smaller number of people, and the minority's way of looking at and doing things are accepted.
    • Reactance: a willing rejection of a social influence being exerted on an individual or group (also known as anti- or non-conformity).
