Answer 1

Answer:

informational social influence

Explanation:

Carter's decision could best be explained as informational social influence in that Carter's Decison to get a new costume for her routine is based on the stylist's prescription which is based on tenable fact that a costume different from the one's she has worn in the past woild be preferred by the judges in a national competition. This is different from normative social influence as it isn't based on pressure to conform to the request of a particular group fro fear of being rejected. Since the stylist gave a hood reason for her costume prescription, then, it is an informational social influence.
