What is social influence can lead to both?Show answer
People may copy prosocial models and follow helping norms (for example helping because they see others help, or because their group values it). Equally, they may be drawn into antisocial behaviour through conformity (going along with a group), obedience (following harmful orders) or deindividuation (reduced responsibility in a crowd). So the same social processes that encourage helping can also encourage harm, depending on the models and norms present.
