text: One reason why people seek multiple opinions is because it may influence you choice. For example if Generic_Name asked another friend for their opinion his choice might of changed. Lets say his other friend said that his parents might catch him and he may get grounded because he chose to disobey his parents. That may influence Generic_Name's choice because he knows if he gets grounded his parents will take away his electronics and he really dosnt want that to happen. So then he chooses not to go to the party. Studies show that you are most likely to do the right thing rather than the wrong thing eight out of ten times when you ask more then one person for there opinion.
