Social Influence

The purpose of this poll is to gather data on the influence of others in decision making, integrity, and self-esteem.

How do you find out about current events locally, nationally, and globally?

I keep up with current events myself, using primary sources such as newspapers, news broadcasts, the internet, and/or social media posts

I do not actively hunt for information, but often hear about things from friends, family, and/or teachers

How likely are you to tell friends and/or family about things you find interesting or are passionate about?

Most likely

Moderately likely

Hesitantly, it depends on who you tell

Highly unlikely

If a friend or family member is in some kind of trouble, would you take risks and/or break rules in order to help them out?

Absolutely

Depends on which friend or family member

Depends on the consequences

Absolutely not

When it comes to self-image and identity, you...

already have a clear idea of who you are and what your style is, and are not planning to change for anyone

rely on the opinions of others to adapt your style and identity according to trends or social movements

rely on the opinions of only those closest to you; you couldn't care less about what anyone else thinks

When it comes to meeting new people, you...

tend to meet people on your own, be it expected or unexpected

do not make an effort to meet others, but are often introduced through friends and family

tend to shy away from meeting people in general

If in some kind of trouble, how would you go about dealing with it?

Rough through it alone, to avoid burdening others or because it is too personal

Seek help from others, either directly or indirectly

Try to resolve it yourself first, but will go to others if you fail repeatedly

When having trouble deciding between multiple options, how would you go about finding a solution?

Get feedback from others to help nudge you in a certain direction

Leave it up to a coin toss or similar decision-making devices

Thoroughly research for information on your options and make thoughtful comparisons

How likely are you to try out new things recommended by friends or family?

Most likely

Moderately likely

Only if it's something you are interested in

Highly unlikely
