Answer to Question 1

Answer: Students should describe the basic procedure in each. The primary similarity was that both examined group norms. Initially, Asch studied how one person responded to incorrect responses by the group on a relatively simple and unambiguous task. In contrast, Sherif examined the formation of group norms in the face of an ambiguous stimulus. In addition, Asch was focused on the nature of conformity, whereas Sherif focused more on the effects of uncertainty on behavior.
