Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conformity tends to be highest when individuals must respond publicly in front of others and have not made a prior commitment to a specific stance or decision. This is because the presence of others and the lack of a prior commitment increase the social pressure to conform to the group's norms or decisions.
