Matching Social Influence Concepts

This question requires matching concepts from List-I (Concepts) with their corresponding processes in List-II. Let's analyze each item:

Analyzing the Matches

  • a. Cohesiveness and conformity: Cohesive groups often experience pressure towards conformity. People tend to accept the influence of group members they like or feel connected to. Option (iv) aligns with this, suggesting that cohesiveness leads to accepting influence from those liked.
  • b. Norms and social influence: Social norms represent expected behaviors. Influence related to norms often stems from the desire to fit in and be accepted by the group, which is termed normative social influence. Option (i), "Social influence based on individual’s desire to be liked by others," directly describes this.
  • c. Individuation: This concept refers to the need or process of being unique and distinct from others. Option (iii), "The need to be distinguishable from others in some respect," accurately defines this process.
  • d. Information and social influence: This occurs when individuals rely on others for information to guide their behavior or form accurate judgments, especially in ambiguous situations. Option (ii), "Social influence based on individual’s desire to be correct-to possess the accurate perceptions of the social world," defines informational social influence.

Final Matched List

Based on the analysis, the correct matching is:

List-I (Concept) List-II (Process)
a. Cohesiveness and conformity iv. Accepting influence of those we like
b. Norms and social influence i. Social influence based on individual’s desire to be liked by others
c. Individuation iii. The need to be distinguishable from others in some respect
d. Information and social influence ii. Social influence based on individual’s desire to be correct-to possess the accurate perceptions of the social world

This corresponds to option (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(iii), (d)-(ii).
