Answer to Question 1

Answer: Students' description of the experience should include degree of communication and how they were treated by the group. There should be a compelling explanation if they choose why not.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Whereas informational conformity arises from a need to be right, to arrive at an accurate construal of an ambiguous situation, normative conformity arises from a need to be liked and to be accepted by other people. Informational conformity typically is longer lasting, because it often yields private acceptance of information or group norms; normative conformity typically only results in public compliance, and not private acceptance. Finally, informational conformity is most likely to occur in ambiguous situations, whereas normative social influence can occur in almost any situation, including those in which what is right is perfectly clear.
