Overview
Research in social psychology has found evidence that most of us will conform to the social norms even when we know that others are wrong in their judgment. We all can see this in our everyday experiences; we are regularly faced with deciding whether we will conform to a social norm (like getting a Facebook account) or not. This course will explore the idea of conformity and types of social influence.
