Answer to Question 1

Asch was actually interested in studying independence but ended up observing the conditions under which people conformed. In a simple yet elegant experiment, he recruited subjects to participate in a study on visual perception. Their task was to identify which line among a group of three matched a test line in length. The trick was that others who participated were actually confederates of Asch who would provide what was actually the wrong response. Asch found that 75 percent of his college subjects capitulated to the pressure to conform to the group at least once. Subsequent research found that certain conditions decreased conformity, such as the presence of just one dissenter.
