In the Johnny Rocco studies conducted by Schachter (1951), he found that when a confederate stubbornly deviated from the opinion of the rest of the group, the confederate then was more likely to

a. be voted as the leader.
b. be suspected of playing the role of a confederate in the study.
c. be voted out of the group.
d. experience a large amount of cognitive dissonance.

Question 2

Recall that in a study by Baron et al. (1996), participants in one condition were asked to select perpetrators after a lineup in conditions of low ambiguity,

so that participants in the control condition made very few mistakes. Recall also that some participants were told that the task was one that was being designed for use by the police department and were offered 20 if they were the most accurate, while others were told that it was just a laboratory task under development. This condition of the study found that
a. the more important it was to participants to be correct, the more they conformed to other group members' answers.
b. the more important it was to participants to be correct, the less they conformed to other group members' answers.
c. people conformed more when the pressures were for normative rather than informational influence.
d. when importance was high and ambiguity was low, conformity virtually disappeared.
