Normative and Informational Social Influence Deutsch and Gerard, 1955 Two main reasons people conform- the need to be liked, and the need to be right
Asch's Research Asch, 1951-55 Testing conformity. Showed participants lines and asked them to match A,B or C to line X. There was one naïve participant among confederates who gave the wrong answers.
