According to Kahle's (1995b) study, conformity motivation relates to a consumer's concern with adhering to group norms in the purchase decision of a product/brand. Individuals who are low in conformity motivation are identified as role-relaxed consumers who value self-respect and equality. Therefore, conformity motivation is at the opposite end of the continuum to role-relaxed consumption. In other words, both conformity-motivated and role-relaxed consumers are aware of social reactions, but behave in an opposite manner.
