== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Conformity''' β The act of "Matching" attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to "Group Norms." * '''Obience''' β Compliance with an "Order," request, or law from another person of "Higher Authority." * '''Social Influence''' β The general process by which the actions of an individual or group affect the behavior of others. * '''Normative Influence''' β Conforming because you want to "Be liked" or "Accepted" (avoiding social punishment). * '''Informational Influence''' β Conforming because you believe the group has "Better information" than you (e.g., 'They must know something I don't'). * '''The Asch Line Study''' β The famous 1951 experiment where 75% of participants "Conformed" to an obviously wrong answer at least once. * '''The Milgram Experiment''' β The 1963 study where 65% of people were willing to deliver a "Fatal" electric shock to a stranger because an "Authority Figure" commanded it. * '''The Stanford Prison Experiment''' β Philip Zimbardoβs study on how "Social Roles" (Prisoner vs. Guard) can cause "Dehumanization" and "Abuse of Power." * '''Bystander Effect''' β The phenomenon where the "More people" are present, the "Less likely" anyone is to help a person in distress. * '''Social Facilitation''' β The tendency to "Perform better" on simple tasks when others are watching (and "Worse" on complex ones). * '''Social Loafing''' β The tendency to "Put in less effort" when working in a group (The 'Free Rider' problem). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
