Majority influence refers to when a group exerts influence on an individual to conform to group norms, while minority influence involves a smaller group influencing the larger group to shift their beliefs or behaviors. Majority influence is more common and tends to lead to conformity, while minority influence can lead to innovation and change in group attitudes.
