A

Q

Deutsch and Gerard (1955) developed a two-process theory, arguing that there are 2 main reasons people conform, based on 2 central human needs, the need to be right (ISI) and the need to be liked (NSI).
The idea of Deutsch and Gerard’s ‘two-process’ approach is that behaviour is what?

A

The idea of Deutsch and Gerard’s ‘two-process’ approach is that behaviour is either due to:
1. ISI
Or,
2. NSI

1. ISI (because there is an alternative source of information)
Or,
2. NSI

Or,
2. NSI (because the dissenter provides social support)

This shows that it isn't always possible to be sure whether:

Or,
2. NSI
is at work

as 2 processes operating independently in conforming behaviour
