Topic 9.4
What is the main difference between normative and informational social influence?
Normative influence applies only to small groups, while informational influence applies to larger populations.
Normative influence involves changing one's behavior based on factual information, while informational influence involves conforming for acceptance by others.
There are no significant differences - they have identical influences on people’s behaviors.
Normative influence is about fitting into a group while informational influence stems from wanting to be correct.
