Conformity - Lecture 3

This lecture explores the concept of conformity as part of the "Decisions, Games, and Evolution" program organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into how conformity influences decision-making processes across biological and social systems during this 1 hour and 39 minute presentation by James O. Weatherall. The lecture is the third in a series examining how individual choices in social contexts are affected by environmental factors and network structures. Learn about evolutionary game theory applications to understand cooperation, opinion dynamics, and cultural evolution. This presentation is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members working in fields related to evolutionary dynamics, cognitive science, economics, and physics, offering cross-disciplinary perspectives on how conformity shapes both individual behavior and collective outcomes.
