What variables in the study could be changed in order to support Asch's findings further? en-us 2017-02-22 18:46:47 UTC 2020-01-22 12:23:33 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/431381454 Asch showed that people tend to confirm to the opinions of others by having a group of people sit together in a room and only one did not knew the answers and the others had to give the wrong answers purposely. When the other people would answer he go on with their answer because he didn't want to be discomforted. I think it is because he tried so many different methods. Some variables could be not giving him a partner and then after that transfer to having him write out his answer instead of saying. So that this way you get true results from the first part of the experiment and true results from the second part. But i also think that he should experimented with more than one person to see how many people it actually affects. ]]> 2020-01-14 16:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/431381454 https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/431415860 essentially a bandwagon, When someone or some group has a popular answer others tend to follow like sheep even if the answer is wrong.]]> 2020-01-14 16:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/431415860 https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/431501421 i think its accurate but it has its differences to me. i think that maybe if they had everyone that was just there to be the subject you would get the same results. ]]> 2020-01-14 18:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/431501421 https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/431604592 He conducted an experiment and told everyone to give the wrong answers except for the person actually participating. It's accurate because a lot of people tend to just go with what the majority around them thinks/believes and that tends to alter their views on right and wrong. They could've done another party of people, none told what to say and it'll show that without that influence they'd choose the right answer. ]]> 2020-01-14 22:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/431604592 https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/432252110 the experiment had one real participant and everyone else gave wrong answers. the white tshirt guy tended to agree with their wrong answers. i think this study can be accurate in the sense that the guy does not know these people so he may not want to stand out and go against their answers in fear of being wrong himself or something. but if he maybe knew the people like a classroom of students usually does he may want to speak his mind. also, i know i tend to go along with others if i dont care that much about the topic so maybe he just doesnt care. ]]> 2020-01-16 05:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/432252110 https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/433730978   Asch conducted an experiment to show how people will conform to other people's thoughts and opinions even though they are wrong. Asch gave a simple task of showing everyone different cards and asking them to say which line was the same length as the one shown. Before the experiment begun, he told everyone accept the person "actually participating" to give the wrong answers. By doing this, it will show if the person would conform to the other peoples answers even if they were obviously wrong. Without a doubt,  the person did choose the answer that everyone else chose. This is because of informational conformity which is when a person goes along with something because what the other people say convinces us that they are right and normative conformity which is when we are apprehensive that a group will disapprove if we are deviant. I do believe that this study is accurate because there is evidence to back up what is happening. Even though the person more than likely knew what was right, he still conformed to the other group members answers even if they were incorrect. Another variable that could have been added to this experiment to test its accuracy is to do the same thing, but do it with only 2 people in a group. Let one person know to say the wrong answers and see if the other person will conform. Having less people might reduce the pressure of stating what you believe is right because there will be less opinions.  ]]> 2020-01-20 19:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/433730978 https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/434485662 If more tend to do one thing it's more likely to have people follow not because they think it's right based on their work, it's more based of the population also picking that way or answer. ]]> 2020-01-22 12:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mpetraglia5/mv2bplxn55y0/wish/434485662
