Conformity is the tendency to change one’s behaviors to match those of others. Obedience is
adhering to an order from a perceived legitimate authority. Various group processes can also
influence whether people conform or obey in a given situation. Social psychologists study why
people conform and obey, even when the behavior goes against their personal beliefs, and
conversely, why people refuse to conform and obey at great personal cost.
For this Discussion, you examine contemporary examples of conformity, obedience, and group
processes in society.
