Conformity or conformism is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to group norms, politics or being like-minded. Norms are implicit, specific rules, guidance shared by a group of individuals, that guide their interactions with others. People often choose to conform to society rather than pursue personal desires – because it is often easier to follow the path others have already made than to forge a new one. Thus, conformity is sometimes a product of group communication. This tendency to conform occurs in small groups and/or in society as a whole and may result from subtle uncon
Conformity is the tendency to match your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to the rules and expectations of a group rather than pursue your own individual preferences. People often conform because it's easier to follow an established path than to forge a new one, and this tendency can occur in small groups or in society as a whole.
