Informational influence refers to conforming to the behavior or beliefs of others because we see them as a source of information to guide our own behavior. In this case, the man has never attended the religious service before and looks to others for guidance on what to do and how to act, suggesting that he is influenced by informational factors rather than normative ones. Compliance refers to yielding to a request or demand from others, but this is not applicable in this scenario. Demand characteristic refers to cues in an experimental setting that suggest how participants are expected to behave, but this concept is not relevant here.
