Answer:

3) Social Influence

Explanation:

Social Influence refers to the way an individual behaves with respect to the other individual, which could be intentional or unintentional (natural). This occurs when a person feels the need to act in a certain way due to the perception he/she has of the other person. For example, if the person has a high rank, e.g. is the boss, the other person would obey his or her orders naturally.

There are three areas of social influence:

  • Conformity
  • Compliance
  • Obedience

A psychologist who studies how people conform to norms or why groups of people obey authority figures would be studying the area of Social Influence.
