The term conformity is used in social psychology to refer to the tendency people have to change their behavior in order to be accepted in a group. This change can be done because they feel pressure from the group or because they imagine something could happen if they don't.

In this example, Mitsue notices that all of her girls in her class wear ribbons, and even though she doesn't like them, she starts wearing them to be like them and be accepted as part of the group. We can see that she changed her behavior in order to be accepted. Therefore she is engaging in a form of social influence called conformity.

Answer 2

Answer: conformity

Step-by-step explanation:

Conformity occurs when one yields to a group pressure in such a way that they may change their behaviour or attitudes in order to fit in with the crowd. This can happen through peer pressure , persuasion and any other form of influence that comes with the group pressure.

Mitsue is in school and probably middle school and that is where there is pressure to fit in and be liked by everyone and mostly your friends , she doesn't want to be the weird one amongst the group so she has to yield to their indirect pressure so that she also can look like all of them.
