Answer:

Informational social influence

Explanation:

Informational social influence refers to action by which one person looks at the behaviors of others who are also in the same or similar situation to see how they behave. Then, this person can follow their lead. This action often happens when the person assumes that the other people know better and know how to behave in a situation and act accordingly.

In this case Samuela doesn't pay attention in class nor she studies. However <u>she's constantly looking for opportunities to cheat, looking at their neighbor's answers and assuming that they know better.</u>

We can see that <u>Manuela looks at the behaviors of the other students and their answers in order to follow their lead assuming they do know the answers.</u> Therefore, <u>her answers are based on informational social influence. </u>

3. Why did economist John Kenneth Galbraith believe that America's postwar economy was a new phenomenon?
aleksandrvk [35]
