Abstract
The purpose of this study was to present the main lines of the subject by taking the remarkable points about conformity behaviour in groups. The information and findings on conformity behaviour in social groups were compiled in this study from a variety of earlier studies and books that can be found in the literature. For this reason, the relevant literature was reviewed, and under the topic's main headings, topics such as the definition of social groups, virtual groups, the functions of groups, the formation of group structure and norms, group dynamics, the normative effect of the group on the individual, conformity behaviour, social influence and conformity behaviour, and the factors that affect conformity behaviour were dissected. has been done. The social impacts that drive the development of conformity in groups are investigated in terms of the effects of social elements as well as the effects of individual attributes on conformity behaviour. In the section dealing with the conclusion, an attempt was made to perform a study that may add to the ongoing investigation of this topic by putting an emphasis on the significant problems that are associated with conformist behaviour in social groups.
