Independent Behaviour

Sorry I didn't post about this last week - thank you Shanice for pointing this out on Edmodo. On Tuesday we looked at situational factors that can lead to independent behaviour (that is, not conforming or not obeying) such as the presence of allies, fewer buffers, less legitimacy to the authority, reduced proximity to the authority figure etc. Here's the presentation for this lesson.

On Thursday we looked at individual differences - personality factors which make certain people more likely to act independently. We mainly focused on locus of control - people with an internal LoC see themselves as being in control of their actions and are less likely to enter an agentic state. Here's the presentation.
