Solomon Asch was a psychologist that studied conformity and realized experiments on the subject. These studies tackled how individuals conformed or defied a majority group and the impacts of these situations. The studies found that: (C)
- Only 5% of the subjects went along with the incorrect group consensus on every trial,
- That around 36% of the responses were of conformation,
- (C) The majority of subjects disagreed with the incorrect group consensus in 75% of trials (50% of the trials were control group which had almost 0% conformation, and the experimental trials had 25% of consistent defiance, which means that the majority of subjects disagreed with the incorrect group in 75% of the trials),
- The tendency of subjects to conform decreases in smaller groups, and it reaches it's peak at 3 people.
