0 2 A psychologist did a study to find out more about conformity. box
She put participants into different sized groups.
She asked them to solve an easy maths problem. Then each person gave their
answer to the problem out loud. In every group, there was only one true participant.
The other people in the group were actors. The psychologist asked the actors to
purposely give a wrong answer. The true participant always answered last.
The psychologist recorded how many times the true participant gave the same wrong
answer as the others in the group. She believed this happened because they had
conformed.
Her results are shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Total number of times the true participants gave the same wrong answer as
actors in different sized groups.
