Internalization refers to a type of conformity where we come to accept and believe the norms and values of a group as our own. This usually results from a deep-seated belief that the group's norms are right and just, and are consistent with our own personal values and beliefs. Internalization is more likely to result in long-lasting conformity, as it reflects a true change in our attitudes and behaviors, rather than simply going along with the group in the moment (compliance) or identifying with the group in order to gain acceptance (identification). Social reality refers to the perception that something is real and valid simply because it is widely accepted within a culture or society, and is not necessarily a type of conformity.
