Many people rebel against normative conformity because of their beliefs, experiences and age. They want to feel they are unique and different to everyone around them by following, listening or wearing something some people might consider to be out of the ordinary (individualisation). Feminists rebel against normative conformity, they fight against the stereotypes made for women, such as, a woman fixing a car or a woman wearing a suit and tie, they support gender equality, arguing men and women are equal and should be viewed and treated fairly. They can be considered to have an extremist nature through there actions and beliefs.

people may choose to not conform as they want to be seen as their own individual and not be seen as to following what their peers may be doing as they do not have the desire to fit in or follow normative conformity (yes when and why does this happen, please cite as you have to explain psychologists explanations as to why people do not conform, well done.)

# data[].attributes.body
Conformity has the idea of Internal and External Locus of Control (ILC or ELC) which is responsible for resisting the pressures of conformity. When a person has a high ILC then they are more likely to resist conforming and are more lielly to present their real selves in social situations. Yes you will have to explain further to show you understand - also please site the psychologist/reference. Well done.

Sometimes people just want to be different therefore they do not conform. Also culture , age difference, and beliefs will stop people  conforming,  for example a young person's taste of music is very different  from an older person. (yes this will be highlighted in week 3) a psychologist makes this point, so do cite them.

Well done to those of you who have already submitted - 8.11.20 Sunday 16.40.  If some of you have come on and see what you were going to mention, please do use yours and detail the reference too with an example, to explain.  Thank you to one's listed - excellent research!

People may resist social pressures and not conform as they know they are being coerced thus reacting in the opposite direction.
If people believe that a social pressure is obviously threatening their freedom they are more likely to rebel. this is known as reactance, reactance is a motive to protect or restore their sense of freedom. If the freedom of action is threatened it can lead to social rebellion. Yes well research do cite Brehm and Brehm (1981) to support your assertions and explanation. Well done.

People may not conform due to cultural differences. For example, Smith and Bond 1998 found that some people from Western cultures didn't want to be seen as the same as everyone else, so they were more likely to not conform. They would rather be treated as an individual rather than a group. yes research further to identify the language used in the contrast - one being collectivist.... which countries were the least conformist? Well researched. You might draw on this in your obedience too.

if an individual  does not feel pressured by normative social influence or informational social influence then they are less likely to conform by group influence., even with one other person reassuring them that their answer is correct they are likely to not conform to the majority of the groups answer and trust their own judgements, without feeling their own senses or beliefs are deceiving them. (Asch experiment) Yes so in this sense it is the knowledge factor that takes precedence.  Hence in the Perrin and Spencer study with the engineering students 1/396 conformed, although the do mention 'time', this factor, knowledge, cannot be ignored.

People may resist against conforming and behave independently. There are situational and dispositional factors that affect conformity. Situational factors are due to the social situation a person is in, whereas dispositional factors are due to the person's internal characteristics. This could be a good opening to your Zimbardo. Remember to be critical, as social situations can change all the time...

Gender might also be a factor
Eagly(1987) argued that men and women's different social roles explain the difference in conformity - women are more concerned with group harmony, so are more likely to agree with others. Assertiveness and independence are valued male attributes, so maintaining your own opinion under pressure fits with the perceived male social role. Very good point, some further current  research might contribute to this, and / alternatively as a critical argument another psychologist draws on another explanation. Well done.

If someone has a high internal locus of control they are more able to resist pressures to conform because they take personal responsibility for their own actions and are less likely to depend on the opinions of others.
yes well researched Laura, we can discuss in class so the others understand.☺ Steph
