Informational Social Influence

Informational Social Influence refers to the psychological phenomenon where individuals conform to the beliefs or actions of a group in order to obtain accurate information or make correct decisions.

It occurs when people adopt the behavior or opinions of others, especially when they feel uncertain about a situation and believe that others possess more knowledge or expertise.

Informational Social Influence is driven by the desire to be correct and have accurate information, rather than due to pressure or a need for social acceptance.
