Topic 9.3
What is the primary difference between compliance and obedience in psychology?
Compliance requires a higher authority while obedience does not.
Compliance involves changing one's behavior in response to a direct request; obedience is responding to an order or command.
Obedience always involves negative consequences while compliance does not.
Compliance can only occur within a group setting, whereas obedience can be individual.
