Governed by normative social influence - individual public complies despite privately disagreeing with the actions

Informational social influence - due to the ambiguity of the situation, we look towards others/majority for cues on how to act

Our need to be accepted fuels our response towards conformity and our fear of rejection leads us to go with the majority. Need for acceptance can be seen from an evolutionary perspective where if you were rejected from the majority (community), you would be less likely to survive

Examples of non-conformative behaviour - lady at MBS who refused to wear a mask despite prevailing SMM restrictions

Self-serving bias - attributing our successes to our own effort but negative ones to the environment for e.g you do well during the exam cause of your hard work but if you don't do well you pin it on maybe environmental factors

How this can be resolved is with the conscious knowledge of these biases we can actively act against them in situations and be objective in our decision making by considering situational factors]]> 2021-11-05 04:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/psypadlet/r2gl5javmvkfcif4/wish/1869189311 Group 2 https://padlet.com/psypadlet/r2gl5javmvkfcif4/wish/1869197554 In social psychology, a construal is how people perceive, comprehend, and interpret their world, particularly the acts of others toward them.
