Social conformity refers to the process through which individuals modify their judgments, attitudes, perceptions, or behaviors to align with the norms, expectations, or positions of a group or other social reference ^[1]. It is a form of social influence that can occur when individuals perceive disagreement with others and adjust their responses toward those of the group, including a majority or other salient social group ^[2]. Conformity may arise from normative influences, such as the desire for social acceptance or avoidance of rejection, and informational influences, in which individuals use others’ responses as information about appropriate or accurate behavior ^[1]. The extent of conformity can be affected by factors such as group size, unanimity, task ambiguity, social relationships, and cultural context. Conformity does not necessarily indicate that an individual privately accepts the group’s position; behavioral agreement may occur even when private judgments remain unchanged ^[1][2]. Social conformity is therefore a central process through which group norms and social expectations influence individual thought and behavior.
