The effects of group centrality and accountability on conformity to cyber aggressive norms: Two messaging app experiments
作者：
Highlights：
• A messaging app paradigm was used to examine conformity to cyber aggressive norms among adolescents.
• Not being accountable for one's actions increased conformity to cyber aggressive group norms.
• Contrary to previous findings, group centrality did not affect conformity.
• The findings suggest that conformity to cyber aggressive norms in messaging apps is a relatively automatic social process.
• Applied interventions to reduce conformity to cyber aggression should focus on increasing accountability on WhatsApp.
