Conformity within a group often leads to the suppression of individual dissenting opinions, but this does not necessarily mean that all group members will abandon their personal beliefs.

Conformity in a group means that people often go along with what others think or do, even if they personally disagree. This can happen because individuals want to fit in or avoid conflict, so they might hide their true opinions. However, just because someone appears to agree with the group doesn't mean they have changed their mind; they might still hold their personal beliefs inside. For example, in a classroom discussion, a student might nod along with the group's ideas but still think differently when they go home. This shows that while conformity can influence behavior, it doesn't always change what someone truly believes.
