Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compliance conformity is when a person's behavior reflects the team's desired behavior because of real or imagined pressure to fit in or avoid ridicule or punishment. It is not necessarily a reflection of personal acceptance or belief in the behavior. Mutual conformity, on the other hand, suggests that all members of the team have come to a mutual agreement on the desired behavior. Personal acceptance conformity implies that individuals have independently chosen to conform because they believe in the behavior, and forced conformity suggests that individuals are being coerced into conforming.
