Eight out of Ten Owners Said Their Cats Preferred It

Abstract

How conformist are you? Do you say, and do, and think what you like, or are you influenced by the behaviour of people around you? The obvious answer is that we are all influenced to some extent by the people around us. If we were not, then we would not be a member of any social group. To belong to a group means to adjust to other people and to conform to at least some of the social norms of the group. But how, and to what extent we are influenced by others are important questions.
