Social Environment: The Influence of People Around Us
Now let us go beyond our physical environment , The author told us not only does our physical environment has effect on our behavior but also our social environment plays a significant role in habit formation.
People have the tendency to align themselves and their behaviors with that of the people who are close to them, this could be family , friends or their colleagues in the work place.
This tendency is a very strong and powerful psychological force which is known by many as “social proof,” it can either work in favour of the habit or opposing it .
