The question was:
"What type of conformity do medical students experience when they engage in behavior that they privately feel is unacceptable and unethical, but that is considered normative in medical school?"
A. Compliance
B. Internalization
C. Identification
D. Informational social influence
They stated the answer was A, and continued to define compliance as "when someone privately disagrees with the behavior but publicly conforms." But, I thought that was the exact definition of identification (C)?
Kaplan defined compliance as "a change in behavior based on a direct request" but defined identification as "the outward acceptance of others' ideas without personally taking on these ideas"
TPR defined compliance as "compliant behavior is motivated by the desire to seek reward or avoid punishment. There is likely to be a punishment for disobeying authority."
If anyone could help me clear up these definitions and help me figure this question out,
Thanks
