Q

Deutsch and Gerard (1955) developed a two-process theory, arguing that there are 2 main reasons people conform, based on 2 what?

A

Deutsch and Gerard (1955) developed a two-process theory, arguing that there are 2 main reasons people conform, based on 2 central human needs, the need to be:

  2. Liked (NSI)
22
Q

Deutsch and Gerard (1955) developed a two-process theory, arguing that there are 2 main reasons people conform, based on 2 central human needs, the need to be right (ISI) and the need to be liked (NSI).
The idea of Deutsch and Gerard’s ‘two-process’ approach is that behaviour is what?

A

The idea of Deutsch and Gerard’s ‘two-process’ approach is that behaviour is either due to:
1. ISI
Or,
2. NSI

23

The idea of Deutsch and Gerard’s ‘two-process’ approach is that behaviour is either due to ISI or NSI.
But the truth is that, more often, what processes are involved?

A

But the truth is that, more often, both processes are involved

Example

A

For example, conformity is reduced when there is one other dissenting participant in the Asch experiment

This dissenter may do what?

This dissenter may reduce the power of ISI (because there is what) or reduce the power of NSI?

A

This dissenter may reduce the power of:
1. ISI (because there is an alternative source of information)
Or,
2. NSI

A

This dissenter may reduce the power of:
1. ISI (because there is an alternative source of information)
Or,
2. NSI (because the dissenter provides social support)

What does this show?

A 
This shows that it isn't always possible to be sure whether:
1. ISI

is at work

A

This is the case in laboratory studies, but it is even truer in real life conformity situations outside the laboratory

This casts serious doubt over what?

This casts serious doubt over the view of:
1. ISI
