Counterconformity is a psychological concept that describes the behavior of individuals who intentionally deviate from social norms or group expectations. This phenomenon is particularly relevant in the study of social psychology, where it highlights the dynamics of nonconformity and the factors that drive individuals to resist conformity. Understanding counterconformity provides insights into the mechanisms of social influence and the conditions under which people choose to act against the majority.
Deutsch: Gegenkulturbewegungen / Español: Movimientos contraculturales / Português: Movimentos contraculturais / Français: Mouvements contre-culturels / Italiano: Movimenti di controcultura
Counterculture movements refer to social groups that reject and oppose the dominant cultural norms, values, and practices of their society. In the psychology context, these movements are studied to understand their impact on individual identity, social behaviour, and collective consciousness.
Counterfactual thinking literally means "contrary to the facts". It also refers to thinking about "what might have been"; imagining what might have happened, but did not.
