In 1958, Harvard psychologist, Herbert Kelman identified three broad varieties of social influence.[2]
Compliance is when people appear to agree with others, but actually keep their dissenting opinions private.Identification is when people are influenced by someone who is liked and respected, such as a famous celebrity.Internalization is when people accept a belief or behavior and agree both publicly and privately.
There are many ways that social influence may have a positive impact on us.
