Social influence - the process through which the real or implied presence of others can directly or indirectly influence the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of an individual. Conformity - changing one’s own behavior to match that of other people.

LO 13.1 Conformity

Obedience Obedience - changing one’s behavior at the command of an authority figure. Milgram study – “teacher” administered what they thought were real shocks to a “learner.”

LO 13.4 Obedience

Altruism Prosocial behavior - socially desirable behavior that benefits others. Altruism - prosocial behavior that is done with no expectation of reward and may involve the risk of harm to oneself.

Bystander Effect Bystander effect - referring to the effect that the presence of other people has on the decision to help or not help, with help becoming less likely as the number of bystanders increases.
