Question

To explain this phenomenon’s spectrum, Richard H. Willis developed an isosceles triangle model, then a diamond model, which was later adapted into a double diamond model. Using a hypothetical driver confronted with a red light, Gordon Allport’s brother Floyd described “J-Curve” patterns in this phenomenon. Herbert Kelman divided this phenomenon into identification, internalization, and compliance types while later psychologists divided its causes into (*) informational and normative types. Subjects gauged how far a small dot of light moved in a dark room by the autokinetic effect (10[1])in a study of this phenomenon by Muzafer Sherif. This phenomenon created groups called “yielders” and “independents” in Solomon Asch’s line experiments. For 10 points, name this social process of individuals aligning themselves to the group. ■END■
