Answer to Question 2

Answer:
Answers should include:
1) Group cohesiveness the factors that bind group members together into a social entity. As cohesiveness increases, the pressure to conform also increases.
2) Size of the influence group as group size increases (up to 8 members), conformity pressures also increase
3) Social norms
- descriptive norms tell us what most people do in a particular situation
- injunctive norms tell us what we should do in a particular situation
- both influence behavior; injunctive norms tend to be stronger, but situational norms guide behavior in a particular situation or environment
