How did people show their resistance to social conformity and anonymity?

-social influence-> the many ways that people affect one another, including changes in attitudes, beliefs, feelings, and behavior that results from the comments, actions, or even the mere presence of others

conformity-> changing one's behaviors or beliefs in response to explicit or implicit pressures (whether real or imagined) from others

-When conformity pressure is explicit, it shades into compliance-> responding favorably to an explicit request by another person; compliance attempts can come from people with some power over you or from peers

-tends to have a bad connotation, but it can be beneficial to ourselves (because we don't have to consider every possible action) and to others (because conforming eliminates potential conflict and makes human interaction so much smoother)
