Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Miguel expressing a dissenting opinion in a group that initially favors building a pool is more likely to result in private conformity, where individuals may privately agree with Miguel's points even if the group's public consensus doesn't immediately reflect this. Public conformity might occur when individuals outwardly agree with the group despite personal disagreements, but in this context, Miguel's opposition could lead to genuine private agreement from some residents who reconsider their positions based on his arguments.
