compliance

Examples of compliance in the following topics:

• Compliance

  • Compliance affects everyday behavior, especially in social interactions.
  • In studying compliance, social psychologists aim to examine overt and subtle social influences and their relationship to compliance.
  • Individuals can be coaxed into compliance in a number of ways, which we will discuss next.
  • Number: Compliance increases as the number of people in a group increases.
  • Low-balling gains compliance by offering the subject something at a low initial cost.

• Ethical Guidelines for Animal Research

  • Under the AWA, all animal dealers must be registered and licensed, and all animal testing facilities in compliance with this act are required to establish a special committee that includes at least one person trained as a veterinarian and one person who is not affiliated with the facility.
  • In addition to compliance with the Animal Welfare Act, most research institutions have an institutional review board (IRB), which is a committee that has been formally designated to approve, monitor, and review biomedical and behavioral research involving humans.

• The Link Between Psychology and Health

  • For example, depression has been related to many risk factors for poor health including overeating, smoking, physical inactivity, and poor medication compliance.

• Introduction to Schizophrenia and Psychosis

  • Substance abuse is associated with poor treatment compliance, and may be a form of self-medication.

• Group Behavior

  • It is important to distinguish deindividuation from obedience (when a person yields to explicit instructions or orders from an authority figure), compliance (when a person responds favorably to a request from others) and conformity (when a person attempts to match his attitudes to group norms, versus the total relinquishing of individuality seen in deindividuation).

• Conformity

  • It is generally distinguished from obedience (behavior influenced by authority figures) and compliance (behavior influenced by peers).

• Obedience

  • Obedience is generally distinguished from compliance (behavior influenced by peers) and conformity (behavior intended to match that of the majority).
