normative influence

Normative influence -

It is one of the human behavior, where the person, atlers his or her thoughts and behaviour, randomly just by looking or observing it on some other person, is known as Normative influence.

It is a very dominant type of influence, where the person unknowingly copies or replicate the same task.
