What's the difference between conformity and norm?

Conformity


Definition:

  • (n.) Correspondence in form, manner, or character; resemblance; agreement; congruity; -- followed by to, with, or between.
  • (n.) Compliance with the usages of the Established Church.

  • (17) The conformations of cysteamine, thiazolidine, and thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid were determined in aqueous solutions using NMR spectroscopy.
  • (18) This structural change opens the heme pocket and modifies the general conformation of the EF segment, thus explaining the increase in oxygen affinity and the achievement of a three-dimensional structure favoring asparagine deamidation.
  • (19) It is likely that the molecule undergoes a conformational change when it is bound to the receptor.
  • (20) The phenylalanine-dependent conformation and the leucine-dependent conformation differ considerably.

Norm


Definition:

  • (a.) A rule or authoritative standard; a model; a type.
  • (a.) A typical, structural unit; a type.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The norms are reported as "Scaled Score Equivalents of Raw Scores" for each age group and as "IQ Equivalents of Sums of Scaled Scores."
  • (2) Specifically, the study investigated the cross-cultural utility of the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) by examining scores of community and patient samples of Korean immigrants and comparing them with norms for Americans and for Koreans living in Korea.
