Abstract
"Many observers of the current crisis of civil liberties in this country agree with regard to one of its aspects: this is a time of growing conformism...of severely restricted tolerance for deviation from the medium and the mediocre." Among the major variables relating to conformism are "an inducement to go along," the "situational context," and "individual predispositions." Four processes of conformism, called consentlence, conformance, convergence, and compliance, are identified and discussed. The utility of distinguishing between these processes is discussed.
