1) uncertainty



2) similarity between you and the group



3) expertise of the group



4) a large number of people







Please respond in a post about the prompt below:





Think of a time in your life where you were vulnerable to Social Proof. When was it? What happened? How did these elements play a part? How could you defend against it now knowing what you know?



for my social proof talk about in 2013 first yeasr under architeture design school, how i used to design structures and building that were to the taste and design languge of the Design professors, which insured that i got a perfect grade but rather than focusing and fighting for the designs i belived in or created, this almost led me to losing what my design signature and feel would have been but i changed when i was working on a midterm design exercise and that the shapes that i made that i thought the instructors would approve of made me feel empty and hollow inside.
