10 Rules That Govern Groups « PsyBlog
http://www.spring.org.uk/2009/07/10-rules-that-govern-groups.php1. Groups can arise from almost nothing 2. Initiation rites improve group evaluations 3. Groups breed conformity 4. Learn the ropes or be ostracised 5. You become your job 6. Leaders gain trust by conforming Merei (1949) observed children at a Hungarian nursery school. He noticed that successful leaders were those who initially fitted in with the group then slowly began to suggest new activities adapted from the old. Children didn't follow potential leaders who jumped straight in with new ideas. Leaders first conform, then only later, when trust has been gained, can they be confident that others will follow. This has been confirmed in later studies (with grown-ups!). 7. Groups can improve performance... 8. ...but people will loaf 9. The grapevine is 80% accurate 10. Groups breed competition While co-operation within group members is generally not so much of a problem, co-operation between groups can be hellish.

Conformity: Ten Timeless Influencers | PsyBlog
1. Group size. Maximum conformity is seen when groups reach between 3 and 5 people. 2. Dissent. As soon as there's someone who disagrees, or even just dithers or can't decide, conformity is reduced. 3. Are they one of us? People conform much more strongly to others who are in the same group as them. 4. Your mood. There's some evidence that we're more likely to conform when we're in a good mood than a bad mood. 5. Need for structure. Some people have more of a 'need for structure' and are more likely to conform. 6. Social approval. Some people have a greater need for liking from others. 7. Culture. 8. Authority. When faced with an authority figure mere conformity can be transformed into obedience. 9. Social Norms. The higher we perceive the level of consensus, the more we are swayed. We are also more easily swayed if we know little about the issue ourselves or can't be bothered to examine it carefully. 10. Reciprocation.
