Define "cohesiveness" and explain its relationship to the tendency to conform
What will be an ideal response?
Cohesiveness is the extent to which we are attracted to a particular social group and want to belong to it. Cohesiveness strongly influences our tendency to conform, and the greater the cohesiveness is, the more we tend to follow the norms of a particular group. The more we value being a member of a group and want to be accepted by the other members, the more we want to avoid doing anything that will separate us from them. Cohesiveness and the desire to be accepted can be viewed as factors that intensify the tendency to conform.
