Which research supports NSI? What did they study?
Asch 1951
-Conformity.
What Asch 1951 found in his study?
-What did the PPTs went along with? And who?
In what experiment did ppts say why they change their ans? To what? From the rest of what?
What does this clearly show?
What had occured? As the ppt … in order to what?
-participants went along with the obviously wrong answers of the
other group members.
-In Post-experimental interviews participants said that they changed their answer to avoid disapproval from the rest of the group, which
clearly shows that compliance had occurred as the participants conformed in order to ‘fit in’.
What did Asch demonstrate in his later variation when writing answers on a piece of paper?
Asch demonstrated in a later variation (1955) that when the pressure to publicly conform is
removed by asking participants to write down their answers on a piece of paper, rather than say them
aloud, the conformity rates fell to 12.5% as the fear of rejection became far less.
Which research study supported ISI?
Lucas et al 2006
Explain Lucas et al 2009
-What did ppts have to give. .. to easy and difficult what?
-What did it increase? And which types of people did this increase for? (who rated their what as what?)
-WWhat does this show that pple whatt when they don’t know the?
We look to who?
-What do we assume and what explanation is this predicted by?
-Participants had to give answers to easy -and difficult maths questions.
-Increased conformity for the difficult questions → especially for people who rated their ability as poor.
Shows that people conform when they do not know the answer. We look to others and assume they are right → predicted by ISI.
