Influencia social

Influencia social refers to the way people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are affected by others. It occurs when individuals change their opinions, actions, or attitudes because of social factors like peer pressure, group norms, or authority figures. This phenomenon helps explain how social environments shape behavior, from conforming to trends to adopting certain beliefs. Influencia social operates subtly and can be both positive, encouraging cooperation, or negative, leading to conformity or peer pressure. Understanding this influence helps us recognize how social context impacts decision-making and personal choices.
