Step-by-step explanation:
Conformity and obedience are both very powerful and can change a person's behaviors in certain situations. When in group situations, most people will feel a need to adjust their behavior to match that of others (conformity). Most people will also feel that they need to comply with the wishes of others (obedience). Especially if that person is perceived to be a figure of authority. One example of conformity is agreeing with the answers of the people surrounding you even if that's not what you truly believe. Some factors that may increase conformity are larger group size, unanimity, group cohesion, the perceived authority of others, and the importance of the subject involved. An implication of these factors is that many people conform in order to not stand out or to fit in and be accepted by others. An example of obedience would be listening to/ following orders from an authoritative figure asking you to do violent tasks. In an experiment held by Stanley Milgram, it was proven that most people would obey orders even when they disagree with them. Some factors of increasing obedience are the perceived authority and distance of the person giving the orders, having already agreed to a small task (foot-in-the-door phenomenon), the victim of violence being depersonalized or far away, and having no role models for defiance. An implication of these factors is that people may be more likely to listen to someone they are scared of or intimidated by.
