Social Conformity
Over dit audioboek
How far will ordinary people go to fit in—even when they know the group is wrong?
Human beings are profoundly social creatures. Our need for acceptance, belonging, and approval shapes decisions in ways we often fail to recognise.
Social Conformity explores the powerful psychological forces that lead people to adopt group opinions, follow social expectations, and suppress independent judgment.
Beginning with landmark experiments such as Solomon Asch's conformity studies, the book examines peer pressure, group norms, institutional behaviour, workplace culture, political identity, and the influence of digital communities.
Why do intelligent people remain silent when they disagree? How do harmful norms become accepted? And what allows individuals to resist collective pressure?
An engaging exploration of the invisible rules governing social behaviour—and the challenge of thinking independently.
