PSY 101 Homework 6: Activity 6.1: Exploring Your Own Conformity

Consider the various situations in which you conform. Identify 4 personal examples of your own conformity and answer the following questions for each one.

We all conform at times so if you’re having trouble identifying examples so we can see them in everyday life, please email me so I can help with identifying relevant examples.

Example 1:

1. Briefly describe (in a sentence or two) the situation in which you conformed.

Summary and Conclusions

What insights have you gained from this exercise? What conclusions can you draw from your answers? What did you discover that you hadn’t realized about conformity, in general, or for yourself, in particular? Is conformity generally limited to collectivist cultures and mostly absent in individualist cultures? What does the textbook help us understand about this?
