Dynamic Social Psychology: Exploring Group Interaction Patterns - A Study on Conformity Behavior and Group Identification
Keywords:
Social Psychology, Group Dynamics, Conformity Behavior, Group IdentificationAbstract
This research aims to investigate the dynamics of social psychology within the context of group interactions, focusing on conformity behavior and group identification. The objective is to understand how individuals conform to group norms and identify with specific social groups, exploring the underlying psychological processes involved. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys to gather statistical data on conformity levels and qualitative interviews to delve into the subjective experiences of group identification. Preliminary findings indicate a nuanced relationship between conformity and group identification, shedding light on the complex interplay of individual and group dynamics within social psychology. The comprehensive analysis of these aspects contributes valuable insights to our understanding of social behavior and psychological processes in group settings.
