Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question describes Sally on her first day of school: she copies the behavior she observes—everyone else sits on the floor with their legs crossed. This is a classic example of conforming to a common observed behavior in the group.

Option 1: injunctive norm. This refers to perceptions about what behaviors are approved or disapproved by others. It focuses on norms of approval rather than actual observed behavior. Since Sally is mimicking what others do, not what others say is approved, this is not the best fit here.

Option 2: audience effect. This involves changes in behavior when others are watching, often due to social evaluation or scrutiny. The scenario doesn’t mention being watched or evaluated, just following what peers are doing, so this is not the primary mechanism at work.

Option 3: descriptive norm. This is about how people behave based on observations of what most others are doing. Sally copies the floor-sitting behavior because it’s what the group is doing, which aligns with a descriptive norm.

Option 4: order (and therefore engaging in obedience). Obedience to authority or commands is about responding to orders from a figure of authority. The scenario lacks an authority directive; Sally is imitating peers, not following an order from someone in authority, so this is not accurate here.
