Question
Study the image given below and answer the question that follow:
Briefly explain any two factors that influenced the result of this study.
Solution
67% of subjects showed conformity. Two factors that could have influenced the result could be:
- Size of the group: Conformity is greater when the group is small than when the group is large.
- It is easier for a deviant member (one who does not conform) to be noticed in a small group. However, in a large group, if there is strong agreement among most of the members, this makes the majority as well as the norm stronger.
- Public or private expressions of behaviour: In this experiment, the group members are asked to give their answers publicly, so conformity is more.
