Abstract in brief

  • The review examines recent research (1997-2002) on social influence, specifically compliance and conformity, highlighting how individuals are influenced by outside forces in subtle, often unconscious ways.
  • It focuses on how people's susceptibility to influence is shaped by three core human goals: understanding reality accurately, maintaining meaningful relationships, and preserving a positive self-image.
  • The review emphasizes that social influence processes are often indirect and unconscious, driven by the interaction between external social pressures and individual psychological goals.]
