Obedience - TSF (Theory of Situational Factors)

The theory of situational factors states that your situation determines your level of obedience.
This is affected by 5 factors.

• Setting - the more prestigious/formal, the more likely you are to obey.

• Culture - collectivist cultures are more likely to obey.

• Power to Punish - if someone has a high power to punish you are more likely to obey them.

• Consensus - if more people obey you are more likely to obey

• Authority Figure/ Uniform - if an authority figure is present, you are more likely to obey.
