When you think about the kind of psychology of influence, then with your friendship group, you've got two factors combining there to push you in whatever direction it is. So if you can see if there is evidence that something is enjoyable or positive, and one of the other influences is liking, and you like the people in whom you are seeing that, then that's quite a compelling argument.
Ever wonder why some of us find it so hard to say no or why we often go along with the crowd? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst dive deep into the fascinating world of influence and the reasons behind our tendency to be easily led. They tackle the roots of low self-esteem, the constant need for approval, and that all-too-familiar desire to fit in.
