Carter has joined a new dance team. The new team has a stylist to help pick the costumes. Carter shows the stylist the outfits he has worn in the past and she indicates that the judges would prefer a different style at the national competition. As a result, Carter gets a new costume for his routine. This decision can best be explained by

informational social influence
normative social influence
groupthink
deindividuation
social facilitation

Carter's decision could best be explained as informational social influence in that Carter's Decison to get a new costume for her routine is based on the stylist's prescription which is based on tenable fact that a costume different from the one's she has worn in the past woild be preferred by the judges in a national competition. This is different from normative social influence as it isn't based on pressure to conform to the request of a particular group fro fear of being rejected. Since the stylist gave a hood reason for her costume prescription, then, it is an informational social influence.
