Konformitāte


Definition from Prakse.lv:
"Konformitāte ir uzvedības vai uzskatu maiņa reāla vai iedomāta grupas spiediena rezultātā, un tā raksturo grupas vairākuma ietekmi uz grupas mazākumu vai atsevišķu indivīdu."

Example sentence(s):
  • Izdala šādus konformitātes veidus (Aronson, Nilson, Akert, 2005): 1) Informatīvā konformitāte (jeb informatīvi sociālā ietekme) – indivīds paļaujas uz citu izteikto viedokli; gadījumos, kad indivīds nav drošs par savu viedokli un domā, ka citu viedoklis ir pareizāks (izrādot konformitāti mazina nepārliecību)... - Sociālā psiholoģija  
  • Saskaņā ar Švarca iedalījumu tās ir šādas: ... * Konformitāte (paklausība, pieklājība u.c.) ... - Vikipēdija

līdzskrējēja efekts


Definition from de.Wikipedia:
Līdzskrējēja efekts [vāc. Mittlaeufereffekt] (tiek dēvēts arī par Bandwagon-Effekt) ir termins, kas rīcības teorijā apzīmē veidu, kā novēroti panākumi ietekmē gatavību atdarināt rīcības veidus, kas eventuāli varētu garantēt panākumus nākotnē.

Example sentence(s):
  • Līdzskrējēja efektu izraisa dažādi iemesli. Viens no tiem ir mode. Ja prece kļūst moderna, tās pircēju skaits pieaug, jo daudzi cilvēki seko modei un negrib atpalikt no pārējiem modes cienītājiem. - LU bakalaura darbs (26. lpp.)  

Explanation:
Konformitāte ir process, kad indivīda uzvedību bieži nosaka ne tikai nepārprotams grupas spiediens, bet arī iedomāts priekšstats par to, kam grupa varētu dot priekšroku. Iespējams, līdzskrējēja efekts varētu tikt uzskatīts par vienu no konformitātes variantiem.
