The autokinetic phenomenon refers to the apparent movement of a stationary point of light in a dark room, which actually results from small, involuntary movements of the eyes. Studies have shown that when individuals make judgments about the movement of the light in a group setting, they will often conform to the judgments of the group even if they initially had different perceptions. This demonstrates how social influence can lead to the acceptance of group norms or beliefs. The other options do not necessarily involve acceptance as a primary outcome of social influence.
