Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of informational social influence, where Glenda believes Rhonda's statement is accurate and conforms to it in order to make a correct decision. Normative social influence is more about conforming to fit in with a group, while educational social influence may involve learning new information or skills rather than conforming to others. Automatic social influence is not a recognized form of social influence.
