Cognitive and Social PsychologyIntroductionConformity is simply defined as the changing behaviour of ones that must match with thebehaviour or responses of other people. Few decades back, the pair Deutsch and Gerardstated the difference between the two: normal and informational conformity. Normativeconformity can be defined as the wish to form exact interpretation of real world and the realbehaviour[ CITATION Cia04 \l 1033 ]. The informational conformity is considered to be takenas goals for obtaining approvals in the society from the people of community. In general,conformity can be defined as a feature of formation of human belief that has been criticized.It can also be considered as the influence that has created negative impact over reliability. If afew networks are employed as the source for experiment, study of the conformity can be doneas to how it is effective in the changing behaviour of people. Major types of conformity canbe in group level and peer and can also be found in an individual. For scaling up of the socialnetworks, a learning method which can construct confluence model is proposed. Model ofconfluence is always proposed because it helps in formalizing the impacts of socialconformity into a good probabilistic model[ CITATION Kev08 \l 1033 ]. This reportemphasizes on conformity and the theories that are associated with it. The idea of conformityand its analysis is also done. Conformity definition Under conformity, people always come up with such behaviour which will be obviouslyloved by others and this can be done by changing their attitudes. Conformity occurs basicallyin the small groups. Conformity can occur in front of other people or might occurindividually as well. Watching TV is the perfect example to draw the actual concept ofconformity. People watch TV in front of others as well as individually too. In both the cases,they follow the social norms in every way. Conformity is usually related to young group ofpeople. However, it can occur in any age. Social influence can be considered to be one of themajor factor of final explanation. In case if people has a fear of society, they will alwaysconform to others[ CITATION Ber15 \l 1033 ].2
