Priya has recently joined a local running club. She wants to be accepted by the established members of the group, whom she considers highly successful and athletic.

During a training session, one of the influential runners suggests that everyone should wrap neon pink grip tape around their water bottles and use a silly group hashtag on social media to 'show team spirit'. Priya privately thinks this looks ridiculous and unnecessary, but she spends that evening worrying about being left out. The next day, she arrives at the training session with her water bottle wrapped in neon pink tape and posts the hashtag online.

Use your knowledge of types of conformity and explanations for conformity to explain Priya's behaviour.
