Benefits Of Conformity To A Peer Group

If you conform to a peer group, the benefits are that you are more likely to feel accepted and are less likely to be judged. In school, a benefit of conformity to a peer group is that you have a group of people to sit with at lunch. A person who didn’t conform to a group of people may feel more vulnerable to being bullied. The costs of conformity to a peer group are that in many peer groups there is one person that is the “leader’ of the group. In some cases the leader might make a bad decision along with other members of the group and by not taking part in this you could.
