Social conformity and conforming to what is popular and dominant has increasingly been seen in our society, even more so today, as things such as partying and drinking are becoming more dominant due to the fact that most people these days do it as well. has been shown in many research studies that introverts and extroverts differ from one another (Gray, 1970; Hunnicutt & Thompson, 1944; Furnham et al., 1994; Geen, 1984), but do people who perceive themselves as either introverted or extroverted actually differ in terms of social conformity? Or is everyone the same in this area? If they perceived themselves as more extroverted or introverted, will this affect the way they react in certain situations and to social norms and cues? These are the

This current study is of valuable significance in regard to the social conformity of extraverts and introverts, as it tries to find evidence for this, which I believe, has not been done before, or has been under-examined. To test the hypothesis that people, whether extroverts or introverts, will conform in social situations, show social conformity and evidence for the social learning theory, this current study will include one experiment that examines whether extroverts and introverts will conform other people’s behaviour on a bus ride. We will examine whether they will conform and start doing the same thing as the fake participants. Participants will be divided into two groups, as the extroverts and the introverts will both be separated but will experience the same experimental procedures. The aim of this study was to examine whether people who perceive themselves as either introverted or extroverted differed in their responses to a certain social situation, which in this case, is the bus experiment. It is predicted that the experimental manipulation that will be conducted in this study will hugely influence participants’ level of conformity. This current study is also predicted to show that there will be no major differences in participants’ responses, regardless of whether they are in the extroverts or introverts group, as past studies have not shown evidence for this and most their participants, if not all, conformed to some extent, which shows how being extroverted or introverted may not matter in social
