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
