The Relationship of Conformity and Memory
Abstract: Some theorists
believe that the
brain was evolved
under the influence
of the community
and for the community. So it seems that social
function has priority on pure
cognitive in the brain. The purpose of this
research was to study the relationship between conformity and general memory.
The current study is a descriptive-correlational research by using prediction
(regression) method. For doing this, 167 students were selected
via the multistage
cluster method from
Bonab and Tabriz
Payam Noor universities.
For gathering data, the
Conformity L-72 Test
and general memory
Questionnaire (PRMQ) were
used. The data were analyzed by
using Pearson’s Correlation test and Liner Regression methods. According to the
results, the predictive
role of conformity
for errors in
the general memory
was confirmed (P<0/01).
So that conformity explained 46% of general memory errors variance.
Based on these results, it seems that social and cognitive functions of the
brain are linked together to meet common goals.
