Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Joanie is conforming due to informational influence, as she is using the behavior of others to gather information about how she should behave in this new environment. Normative influence would be more about wanting to fit in or be liked by the group, compliance would imply a request or suggestion from someone else, and obedience would involve a clear authority figure giving commands.
