Social influences are powerful when it comes to how we listen to people in charge. Here’s what I’ve seen:
Social Pressure: When we see others doing what they’re told, we often feel like we should do it too, even if it doesn’t sit right with us.
Trust in Authority: We usually think that those in charge know what they’re doing. This can make us follow their orders without asking questions.
Fear of Consequences: We might choose to obey simply to avoid getting in trouble. It sometimes feels like that’s the safest choice.
Milgram's experiments really show us how strong these effects can be. People were willing to follow rules, even when it felt uncomfortable. This shows just how much social influences can affect us.
