"Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
THE PECKING ORDER,
THE QUEEN-BEE SYNDROME &
The Bandwagon Effect
Why exactly does the bandwagon effect occur? Individuals are highly influenced by the pressure and norms exerted by groups.
When it seems like the majority of the group is doing a certain thing, not doing that thing becomes increasingly difficult.
Some of the factors that can influence the bandwagon effect include:
Groupthink
A Desire to Be Right
A Need to Be Included
With indirect peer pressure, no one is singling you out, but the environment you're in may influence you to do something.
"We know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
