Preferred term

informational influence  

Definition

  • Definition Informational influence refers to new information or arguments provided in a group discussion that change a group member's attitudes, beliefs, or behavior. Informational influence is likely to be stronger when a person is uncertain about the correct interpretation of reality and/or the correct behavior in a given context and therefore looks to other group members for guidance.
