Answer to Question 1

Answer: Informational social influence may set the stage for eating disorders in that media portrayals of attractive women convey information to women about what type of body is attractive and desirable in a society at any given point in time. After the media create a wide consensus among men and women alike about what is attractive, normative influences take over.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Those who resist normative social influence are often met with attempts by the group to bring them into line. They are teased and encouraged to follow group norms. If that does not work, the group usually rejects and ostracizes the individual. Finally, groups can punish individuals by relegating them to lower, less desirable tasks and positions. This was demonstrated by Schachter's Johnny Rocco study.
