Social influence

• What are the two ways that people resist social change?

  • Social support through a dissenter that breaks unanimity
  • Having an internal locus of control (Rotter, 1966)
  • Internal locus of control = believing you are in control of your destiny = less susceptible to conformity/obedience
  • External locus of control = believing you are NOT in control of your destiny = more susceptible to conformity/obedience
