Question 7

Item

Amara is attending a networking dinner with her new colleagues. Even though she dislikes carbonated drinks, she orders sparkling water because everyone else at the table is doing so, and she wants to be liked and fit in with the group.

Leo is attending his first international academic congress. He is highly unsure of the etiquette during the panel sessions, so he carefully observes the senior researchers in the room to learn when to applaud and how to address the keynote speakers.

Discuss two explanations for conformity. Refer to Amara and Leo in your discussion.
