When a person yields to group pressure because they want to fit in with the group. E.g. Asch's Study.
Conforming because the person is scared of being rejected by the group.
This type of conformity usually involves compliance – where a person publicly accepts the views of a group but privately rejects them.
It’s an emotional process rather than a cognitive process.
It usually happens in situations that are unambiguous.
