Recall that Solomon Asch (1951, 1956) asked participants to estimate the lengths of lines. In response to the incorrect answers of others, some participants actually denied what their eyes saw. These studies provide evidence of
 
  a. normative social influence.
  b. informational social influence.
  c. private acceptance.
  d. contagion.

Question 2

In a series of studies by Solomon Asch (1951, 1956), when participants judged the lengths of lines alone rather than in a group of confederates, their judgments were accurate about 99 percent of the time.
 
  Still, when other participants made judgments in a group of people who gave the wrong answers, they reported incorrect judgments. These findings suggest that
  a. experts exert informational social influence in ambiguous situations.
  b. normative social influence was at work.
  c. informational social influence happens, even in unambiguous situations.
  d. people will distort reality to avoid punishment or social censure.
