Questão Responda
What are the types of Conformity? Identification, Internalisation & Compliance
What are the explanations for Conformity? Normative Social Influence & Informational Social Influence
What is meant by Identification? Identification is a moderate type of conformity where we act in the same way as the group because we value it and want to be apart of it. But we don't necessarily agree with everything the majority believes.
What is meant by Internalisation? Internalisation is a deep type of conformity where we take on the majority view because we accept it as correct. It leads to a permanent change in behaviour, even when the group is absent.
What is meant by Compliance? Compliance is a superficial and temporary type of conformity where we outwardly go along with the majority view, but privately disagree with it. The change in our behaviour only lasts as long as the group is monitoring us.
What is meant by Obedience? Obedience is a form of social influence in which an individual follows a direct order. The person issuing the order is usually a figure of authority, who has the power to punish when obedience behaviour is not forthcoming.
What is meant by Agentic State? Agentic State is a mental state where we feel no personal responsibility for our behaviour because we believe ourselves to be acting for an authority figure, i.e. as their agent. This frees us from the demands of our consciences and allows us to obey even a destructive authority figure.
What is meant by Legitimacy of Authority? Legitimacy of Authority is an explanation for obedience which suggests that we are more likely to obey to people who we perceive to have authority over us. This authority is justified (legitimate) by the individual's position of power within a social hierarchy.
What is meant by Autonomous State? Autonomous State is where we are free to behave according to our own principles and therefore feel a sense of responsibility for our own actions.
What is meant by The Agentic Shift? The Agentic Shift is the shift from autonomy to 'agency'.
What is meant by Authoritarian Personality? Authoritarian Personality is a type of personality that Adorno argued was especially susceptible to obeying people in authority. Such individuals are also thought to be submissive to those of higher status and dismissive of inferiors.
