A lead instructor at a software academy wanted to gather feedback on a new automated grading tool. She gathered students in feedback panels of five.
One student, Priya, privately found the tool highly efficient and helpful for her learning. However, during the panel discussion with four of her peers, the other four students complained that the tool's interface was confusing and frustrating. Priya publicly agreed with them and stated that she also disliked the tool.
Use your knowledge of conformity to explain one reason for Priya's behaviour.
