Social - Independent Behaviour - Conformity

Prior Commitment

- Less likely to conform when publicly commits oneself to an opinion, e.g. variation of Asch.

Role of allies

- Introduce a dissident who gave social support e.g. Asch variation.

Morals

- In some situations, the psychological cost associated with abandoning a personal position is minor compared to fitting in with a group. If it involves morals, the cost is higher.

Desire for Individualisation

- Maintain a sense of individuality.
- Especially in Western cultures.
