AQA A Level Psychology复习笔记1.1.1 Types of Conformity
Types of Conformity
- Conformity is when an individual has a change in belief or behaviour in order to fit in with a group.
What are the different types of conformity?
Compliance
- When an individual is conforming to a group publicly, even though they disagree with them privately:
- Eg. A person may say that they are a vegetarian because all of their friends are, but they still eat meat behind their friends' back when they have the chance
Identification
- When an individual temporarily adopts the behaviour of a role model or group
- Where individuals conform to the expectation of a social role; such as; police officers, nurses, and teachers:
- Eg. You begin to dress like your friend as you admire the way they look
Internalisation
- When an individual is exposed to the different views of the other members of the group and both accept and internalises them as their own
- This leads to acceptance of the groups' point of view both publicly and privately:
- Eg. If your friend is vegetarian and you decide to convert to this lifestyle as well, you fully agree with them and you are not tempted to go back to your old diet
Exam Tip
When discussing conformity, it is important to be clear about which type of conformity you are referring to and how it is evident. Often, when presented with questions about conformity, they will be in the form of a scenario, and you will need to decipher which type or types of conformity are being presented
Use examples wherever possible as these will show the examiner you fully understand the key term. Don't forget to use the information from the scenario or item in your response as it will be needed for maximum credit
