Signs Telling Me to Do What Others Do: the Effect of Exposure to Public Rules on Conformity
This research takes a novel perspective by proposing an exposure effect of public rules on conformity. Across three experiments, we find that in public consumption context, exposure to public rules reminds consumers of the presence of others, which increases their public self-awareness and hence the preference for majority-endorsed products.
