==Description==
'''Conformity''' is the [[process]] by which an [[individual]]'s [[attitudes]], [[beliefs]], and [[behaviors]] are [[influenced]] by other people. This influence occurs in both small [[groups]] and [[society]] as a [[whole]], and it may be the result of subtle [[unconscious]] influences, or direct and overt social pressure. Conformity also occurs by the "implied [[presence]]" of others, or when other people are not actually present. For example, people tend to follow the [[norms]] of society when eating or watching television, even when they are at [[home]] by themselves.
