From an early age, we are taught that obedience is good, and disobedience is bad. This conditioning shapes our behavior, favoring compliance over refusal.
We feel immense pressure from others to meet their expectations, often prioritizing social harmony over our better judgment. This drives us to comply even against our better knowledge.
Repeated compliance strengthens the neural pathways associated with saying yes, while acts of defiance receive no such reward, making those pathways weaker or less likely to develop.
Research shows that in social situations, people have taken bad advice, indicating a high compliance rate even when flaws in the advice are glaringly obvious.
