Question

1. choose the best answer.

which answer is not a way groups influence individuals?
a person willingly identifies with group attitudes rather than just behaving according to
expectations.
an individual internalizes an attitude because one believes it is right and true.
an individual embraces the stereotype of other group members.
groups enforce compliance to avoid rejection and gain approval of group members

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1 describes identification with group attitudes (a form of group influence).
• Option 2 involves internalizing an attitude due to personal belief in its truth, which is more about individual conviction rather than group influence.
• Option 3: Embracing stereotypes of group members can be a result of group influence (conforming to group - related perceptions).
• Option 4: Groups enforcing compliance for approval/rejection avoidance is a classic form of group influence (normative social influence).

So the option that is not a way groups influence individuals is the one where the individual's attitude is based on personal belief in its rightness/truth.

Answer:

B. An individual internalizes an attitude because one believes it is right and true.
