Lucas, Chloe, and Zoe are siblings.
Lucas always obeys his football coach and teachers without question, eagerly carrying out any tasks they assign him. However, when he is in the park, Lucas is often observed bossing around and being mean to younger children.
Chloe and Zoe are twin sisters who spend most of their time together. They frequently ignore authority figures. For example, when their father instructs them to help clear up after dinner, they both refuse, and while Zoe sneaks off to play video games instead of doing her chores, Chloe sits with her and does the same.
Discuss factors affecting obedience and resistance to social influence. Refer to the behaviour of Lucas, Chloe, and Zoe in your answer.
