Question

Which type of social influence do medical students experience when they engage in behavior that they privately feel is unacceptable and unethical, but that is considered normative in medical school?

Answer 1

The correct answer is Conformity

Explanation: Conformity defines the behavior of an individual or subgroup that is determined by the rule of a group. The pressure to conform supposes the existence of a majority and a minority. Most are bound by this rule and all social interaction will aim to impose their views on the minority.
