| Who conducted a study into conformity that involved a visual discrimination task? | Asch |
| How many participants were involved in Asch's study? Mixed gender? Age group? | 123 male students |
| What proportion of the test group were confederates? | All but 1 |
| How many times did confederates give incorrect answers? /18 | 12/18 |
| What was it called when a confederate gave an incorrect answer? | Critical trial |
| What was the average conformity rate of the critical trials? | 33% |
| What percentage of participants never conformed within the trial? | 25% |
| What percentage of participants conformed on 6 or more of the trials? | 50% |
| What percentage of participants conformed on all of the trials? | 5% |
| How is the ecological validity of this study? | Low as people's perception of lines does not reflect the complexity of real life situations |
| What was found during the debriefing process? | Participants only changed their answers publicly, yet maintained belief in their own judgements privately Only changed answers to avoid disapproval from the group (compliance) |
| What is meant by Asch's study being a "child of its time"? | Due to McCarthyism, people were more likely to conform at this point in history |
| What was found by subsequent trials, such as that by Perrin and Spencer, that can help explain the McCarthyism effect? | That the perceived cost of not conforming highly effects the outcome of the participants answer Conformity rate can be based on situation |
| What is the counter argument of what the results of the study show? | It can be argued that the results show independent behaviour rather than conformity On average, 67% of participants behaved independently |
| How can culture effect conformity rate? | In collectivist cultures, such as in Africa and Asia, conformity rate is much higher than in individualist cultures, such as USA and Europe 25% in individualist 37% in collectivist This may be due to conformity being viewed more favourably by society in these cultures, as a 'social glue' |
| What is the population validity of this study? | Low as the trial group was only made up of male students This means that the results cannot be applied to females or others of different ages |
