normative social influence

Normative social influence occurs when an individual conforms to the expectations of a group in order to be liked or accepted, or to avoid social ridicule and exclusion. This type of influence often leads to public compliance—doing what the group does—without necessarily resulting in private acceptance. It is a fundamental driver of social cohesion but can also lead to the suppression of individual judgment.
