as moie individuals change artitudes, pace of conversion picks up as

the minonty gamratatus; power; acceptobiiity




reseatch support for consistency :

Moscivicl et al (1969) dumed to see if a consutent munorty could mftuence

a majority ta glue an unconect ansuver

sampie consisted of ita female pattrapants in groups of 6

36 blue coloured sudes stating whetner the sudes

wele blue of green
9
condition 1 had consistent confederates say au 36 sudes were green.

with 8.2./. partucpants guuing wrong answer, conforming comingly

condition a had inconsstent conjederate say 24/36 aludes were blue

and 2/36 sudes were gieen .with L25/ participants guuing wrong anie

contrai group ivalved no confederates, with 0 a5/ paltrcipants giuing

wrong answer

2 this supports the consistency assumption of munority unpluence

research suppont for flexibilty_

^ Nemeth (1436) investgared the uclea op fiexibuuty as_ Key characterstic

op successful minorities wng exen piessure

2 3 paiticupants and 1 congederate had to deade how much compensatcn

o give someone who had been a victm of a scr upt accident
wen confederate was too consistent, not budging with lower amount,

then the 3 patiupants deaded own amount little impact on majoity

^ when confederate wgs mote flexible agreeing asugnter higher amount

than onqional pice, then the 3 pafticpants went with confederates

Lower amount


2 thus hughughts the impatance of piexibuity in munony influence

However, ethical conceins poled about Nemeths research due to

deceiving paitia pants so unable t guue fully informed concent
