Question

Adjusting your opinions, judgments, or behavior so that they match the opinions, judgments or behavior of other people or the norms of a social group or situation is called:________.

Answer 1

Answer: Conformity.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Conformity is a tendency to change our beliefs or behavior in order to be accepted by other people.

• Our actions are often influenced by other people's expectations, and social norms. This is a type of social influence, and can be a consequence of real or imagined group pressure.

• People often decide to follow social trends, rather than pursue their own desires. They are afraid that they will be rejected by others if they show individuality.
• Conformity is largely present in schools, due to peer pressure. For example, a teenage girl decides to dye her hair because the majority of her friends have done so.
