  • Less intimate, with lesser self-disclosure involved
  • May still be exclusive
  • May demand certain levels of loyalty as in fraternities or religious organizations, and to a lesser extent, loosely knitted social clubs like practitioners of certain specialized professions
• Middle and late adolescents


  Usually find themselves in the company of their peers, usually from the school or the neighborhood
• From high school to college, adolescents


  Mature faster socially, and new lessons are learned especially on how their social interactions affirm their self-identity, increase their self-esteem, and develop their capacity to nurture relationships
• Social Influence


  Things such as behavior, actions, attitude, concepts, ideas, communications, wealth, and other resources that bring about changes in the beliefs, attitudes, and/or behavior of persons as a result of the action/s of another person
• Social Influence


  • Usually conducted through the use of power whether this was done authoritatively, coercively, suggestively, or by giving rewards
  • Happens as a result of interacting with other people who are perceived to be subject matter experts or of having similar persuasions as the ones being influenced

• Varieties/Types of Social Influence (According to Herbert Kelman)


  • Compliance
  • Identification
  • Internalization
• Compliance


  When a person seems to agree, and follows what is requested or required of him or her to do or believe in, but does not necessarily have to really believe or agree to it
• Identification


  When a person is influenced by someone he or she likes or looks up to, like a movie star, a social celebrity, or a superhero
• Internalization


  When a person is able to own a certain belief or act, and is willing to make it known publicly and privately
• Other Types of Social Influence


  • Conformity
  • Informational Conformity
  • Normative Conformity
  • Conversion
  • Minority Influence
  • Reactance
  • Obedience
  • Persuasion
• Conformity


  • A type of social influence that involves a change in behavior, belief, or thinking to be like others
  • Most common and pervasive form of social influence
  • Very strong particularly among middle and late adolescents
  • Supported by the fact that an adolescent in this age group is most susceptible to a compelling need to seek approval from others and be accepted by them in order to become a friend and to belong to a social group
  • May lead to either positive or negative results, depending on the beliefs, intentions, and attitudes of the members of a group and the extent of their influence on an individual
  • Brought about by peer pressure, often imposed on members of a group to demonstrate some semblance of loyalty, which is often deemed as necessary to maintain one's relationship with the group
• Informational Conformity


  Occurring when people accept evidence about reality provided by other people
• Normative Conformity


  Based on a person's desire to fulfill others' expectations, often to gain acceptance
• Conversion


  • Occurs when an individual whole-heartedly changes his or her original thinking and beliefs, actions, and attitudes to align with those of the other members of a group
  • Also happens in a group when the original beliefs, attitudes, and behavior of the different members may have influenced each other to evolve into a new set of beliefs, attitudes, and behavior
  • Religious conversions are typical of this type of social influence where internalization happens to make the new set of beliefs, attitudes, and actions become one's own
• Minority Influence


  • Happens when a bigger number of people are influenced by a much smaller number of people and when the minority's way of looking at and doing things is accepted
  • May happen when the minority owns and wields power economically, politically, and socially; or if the majority are uninvolved and detached from issues
• Reactance


  • When there is a willing rejection of a social influence being exerted on an individual or group
  • Also known as anti- or non-conformity
  • A reverse reaction to some social influence that is being imposed by a person or a group on another
  • An adolescent who is being prevailed upon by the parents to stay at home during weekends and help in the house chores may react and develop a non-conforming behavior of not following his parents
  • Whether the influence is right or not, non-conformity is the rejection of such influence
• Obedience


  • Another form of social influence wherein a person follows what someone tells him or her to do, although it may not necessarily reflect the person's set of beliefs or values
  • Similar to compliance, obedience usually stems from either respect or fear of the authority figure
• Persuasion


  Used by one person or group to influence another to change their beliefs, actions, or attitudes by appealing to reason or emotion
• Career
