- Types of Conformity
- Compliance
- Lowest level of conformity. Here, a person changes their public behaviour but not their private beliefs. This is usually a short term change.
- Identification
- Middle level of conformity. Here, a person changes their public behaviour and their private beliefs, but only while they are in the presence of the group they are identifying with. This is usually a short term change.
- Internalisation
- Deepest level of conformity. Here a person changes both their public behaviour and their private beliefs. This is usually a long term change.
