초록
This study was performed to know about the conformity tendencies of adolescent and adult groups based on lectures of the expert on the topic 'the cicada'. Characters of each lecture were 'he pure natural science', 'positiveness', 'negativeness' and 'neutrality,' and then attitude changes on the cicadas were investigated with a questionnaire. Consequently, half of the adolescent and adult groups thought of the cicadas' sounds as 'noise' through mass communications respectively. They had a neutral attitude, neither positive nor negative, on cicadas' sounds in the beginning. Attitudes of the people on the cicada, however, were changed positively only with a pure natural science lecture. In this case, the adolescent group was more prevalented by the lecture than the adult group. In other words, the positive-based lecture affected them positively, while the negative-based lecture affected them negatively. The conformity tendencies of adolescent groups participating in the positive-based lecture were substantial. In conclusion, as we can see from the so-called Kohlberg's 'stages of moral development', conformity tendencies of attitudes towards cicadas' sounds were generally much more prevalent in the adolescent group, compared with the adult group, even though there are some differences in subcategories.
