Question

The textbook cites the example of a dui offender who attends aa meetings in accordance with a court order but is doing so to avoid a jail sentence or hefty fine, not because he believes it truly matters. what do sociologists call this kind of conformity?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: Compliance

In sociology, compliance refers to the willingness to obey the order from someone that perceived as an authority regardless of their belief.
Examples of a compliance would include things such as defendants who obey court order, students who obey the teachers' rules, etc.
