Goals
"To date, no empirical research has investigated this psychological process and its determinants. Therefore, this study reports two experiments that examined the effects of group centrality (the subjective importance of a social group) and accountability (being accountable for one’s actions) on conformity to cyber aggressive norms. Additionally, the moderating role of susceptibility to peer pressure was examined. " (Bleize et al., 2021, p. 1)
