Newest First Back to Week at a Glance (https://waldenu.instructure.com/courses/178209/modules/items/730333 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.
