Informational Influence

In groups, a form of influence that occurs when a group member accepts information from others as valid evidence about reality. Influence of this type is particularly likely to occur in situations of uncertainty or where there are no external or “objective” standards of reference.

Public Compliance

Occurs when individuals outwardly conform to social norms or expectations, often to fit in or avoid conflict, without necessarily agreeing with them internally.
