Informational social influence is more likely to occur in situations where a person is unsure about the correct way to behave, when the situation is ambiguous, when they are in a crisis, or when others are experts. The importance of the group to the person does not directly increase the impact of informational social influence; rather, it might affect normative social influence, where a person conforms to be liked or accepted by the group.
