Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Informational social influence occurs when individuals are looking to others to provide them with information about an ambiguous situation or stimulus. Because individuals in these types of situations are uncertain about the situation, they are more likely to internalize the information, which would lead to private acceptance. An example of this would be when students take down notes because they see other students writing something down. This is an example of informational social influence because the individuals are looking to others to decide when it is appropriate or necessary to behave in a specific way. On the other hand, normative social influence occurs when individuals want to be accepted. This type of social influence is more likely to lead to public compliance rather than private acceptance. For example, if a group of friends endorsed a particular candidate during a discussion around a table, a single individual at the table may publicly go along with the majority opinion because he or she wants to be liked and accepted. However, in the actual voting booth, the individual may still vote for his or her favored candidate.
