A person is a being influenced by the environment, and the study of conformism assists us to find out what kind of influence the social environment can have on an individual and by what mechanisms serve social influences. The purpose of our research is to determine how the nature of the social group affects the degree of conformity, and this was influenced by comparing the level of conformity between different professions. Conformism has a significant impact on a whole society, such as small groups within it. With this research, we were able to differentiate how the degree of conformity poles apart in these small groups. For our study we selected students of Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, 10-10 from each of 15 professions: Psychology, Business Administration, Georgian Philology, Law, Economics, Medicine, Pedagogy, Mathematics, English Philology, Architecture, Computer Sciences, History, Tourism, Engineering, International Relations. Age: 18, 19, 20, 21, 21 and up. 150 respondents were used in the research, from them – 75 female, 75 male. As an example of research, we took Mehrabian's and Steph's conformity scale. In order to maintain reliability we used the quantitative method, we covered the purpose of the research before conducting it, and introduced it immediately after conducting it. According to these standards we completely secured every norm of ethic codex. The conducted research proved that each group differs in the degree of conformity. Key words: conformity, social relationship, social group, difference between professions JEL classification: Y800
