Topic > My Compliance Project: Observation During Thanksgiving

• There were several different groups. I would say there were probably 4 different groups. The younger children were divided into their own group. My older cousins ​​were split into another group. Then my aunts and uncles were also divided into different groups. After all this, it was just me and my grandmother who didn't really fit into a group because we didn't have anyone close to our age there, so we made up most of the "out group."'• My younger cousins ​​were cute they ran around here and there and they chased each other all the time. • My older cousins ​​talked about hunting and what had happened in their lives. • Most of my aunts talked about what they were going to do for groceries, and they talked about their kids. • My uncles, on the other hand, wandered outside, on the lake, after lunch, and talked about things kids talk about.• When people, like my grandmother or one of my aunts, approached the group of "kids", they usually stopped running around. They would remain calm until that person left. Then everyone went crazy. • When several people approached my older cousins, they would briefly interrupt whatever they were saying. This was only because they were polite and asked anyone who approached them how they were doing. Then, as soon as that person left, he simply resumed the conversation. • I didn't notice much difference in any of my uncles or aunts being approached by anyone unless it was one of their children. Then sometimes they would drop whatever they were doing to help them with something. After helping their children, they went back to doing what they were doing before. • The familiarity effect played an important role because one... middle of paper... rvations, I was able to learn quite a bit about groups and conformity. Before, I didn't even understand what compliance was or what it could affect, but after observing groups for my compliance project, I understand it much better now. I now realize that conformity plays a huge role in everyday life. Conformity is the reason people make many of the decisions they make. It can affect how people act or behave when someone in an “outgroup” approaches their “ingroup” because the person does not want to act out of the norm. Psychology plays a very important role in all of this because conformity has to do with how people think and why they make the decisions they do. Psychology also helps explain why people separate into “ingroups” and “outgroups” as they do. It helps explain pretty much everything to do with compliance in general.
