A museum coordinator tells a group of volunteers sorting old photographs to wear cotton gloves. Eli puts his gloves on straight away and keeps them on all afternoon. At Niamh's table, the other volunteers soon take their gloves off, and Niamh takes hers off too. Later she tells a friend that she still thinks the gloves protect the photographs, but she felt awkward being the only one at her table wearing them.
Using the source, explain which volunteer shows obedience and which shows conformity. Explain which type of conformity Niamh shows, and use this to predict whether she will wear gloves when she sorts photographs alone the next day.
