Conformity is the most general concept and refers to any change in behavior caused by another person or group; the individual acted in some way because of influence from others. Note that conformity is limited to changes in behavior caused by other people; it does not refer to effects of other people on internal concepts like attitudes or beliefs... Conformity encompasses compliance and obedience, because it refers to any behavior that occurs as a result of others' influence - no matter what the nature of the influence. (Breckler, Olson, & Wiggins, Social Psychology Alive, 2006) Conformity can be defined as yielding to group pressures, something which nearly all of us do some of the time.
