Answer:Conformity

Explanation:

Conformity is a social influence that has an impact on changing our behavior or belief in order to fit in with the rest of the group. This is based on the actual physical influences such as persuasion, criticism, teasing, peer pressure and many other factors that may influence you towards yielding to what everyone else is doing. It is like coping what everyone else does and do exactly as they do such as Kimberly who decides to follow everyone else assuming they know where they are going.
