MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

No one in Collin’s circle of friends likes rap music. They all say that it sounds like noise; it has no melody and it takes no talent to produce, they claim. Personally, Collin tends to like rap, and he thinks that a lot of skill and knowledge would have to go into producing something that complex. But if everyone else hates it, he reasons that he is probably wrong, so he eventually convinces himself to hate rap too.

Conformity

Relativism

Wishful thinking

Confirmation Bias

Answer explanation

Collin's change in opinion about rap music, influenced by his friends' negative views, exemplifies conformity. He suppresses his own preference to align with the group's beliefs, demonstrating the pressure to conform.
