Independent Behaviour

We have already studied the types of social influence (conformity - compliance and internalisation and obedience) and then we've investigated why individuals behave in these ways (NSI, ISI & G.L.A.D) but we need to remember that Asch, Sherif and Milgram did not ever achieve 100% influence meaning that some participants were able to resist the pressure on them to show independent behaviour.

This section is split into to 2 - resisting conformity and resisiting obedience.

You can be asked about these individually or a general question about explanations for independent behaviour in which case you'd mention both.
