Clarence wants to fit in with a new group of friends, but they're known for their aggressive behavior. Sid, their ringleader, declares that one afternoon they're going to catch a stray cat and take turns torturing it. After a suitable cat is obtained, Sid commands Clarence to jab it with a sharpened screwdriver. Clarence is reluctant, but as he steps up to obey the commands, Rocco, another group member, shouts, "This is stupid! Why are we hurting this defenseless animal?" Schlitzy chimes in, "Yeah; what's wrong with you, Sid? I'm not going to do this." What is the likelihood that Clarence will continue to torture the cat after hearing these comments?

▸ Very low; Clarence has been provided with models of dissent and defiance by Rocco and Schlitzy.

▸ Low; Clarence will likely seek more input from the group before acting.

▸ High; Clarence sees Sid as a legitimate expert in this situation, and so defers to his greater wisdom.

▸ Very high; Clarence has already internally committed to obeying the person he sees as the leader.
