Example.

According to Leicht (2013), social change can be defined as a significant shift in social structures and cultural patterns over time. According to Moscovici and Lage (1976), a minority is a group smaller in number than the majority. Still, it could also simply be a group that thinks and acts differently than the norm. Therefore, when a minority group is the cause of social change, that is minority influence. This essay will investigate the various minority influence theories, such as The Genetic Theory (Moscovici & Lage, 1976), and how they can eventually result in social change. Consistency, a key behavior style involved in minority influence, and flexibility, as demonstrated by Nemeth's (1977) mock jury study, will also be the focus of this investigation. The Moscovici et al. (1969) blue-green slide study, a significant piece of research on minority influence, will also be examined, as will some research that challenges this.
