The research of Solomon Asch revealed that:
a.participants in the study conformed to the erroneous group response in
one-half of the trails.
b.all participants in the study conformed to the erroneous group response in each trail.
c.participants in the study conformed to the erroneous group response in one-third of the trails.
d.Ninety percent of the participants refused to conform to the erroneous group response throughout the trails.
i think its D
any other opinions?
This is the area of my disseration. C is correct.
To find the correct answer, we need to review the research of Solomon Asch. Solomon Asch conducted a famous series of experiments in the 1950s to study the effects of social influence on individual behavior. In these experiments, participants were shown a line and were asked to select another line from a set of options that matched the length of the original line.
The experiments were designed in such a way that there was an obvious correct answer. However, the participants were placed in a group of confederates (people who were working with the experimenter), who purposely gave incorrect answers. The purpose was to see if the participants would conform to the group's wrong answers or stick to their own perceptions.
During the experiments, participants were asked to respond in several trials. Now, let's evaluate the answer choices based on the information available:
a. Participants in the study conformed to the erroneous group response in one-half of the trials.
This answer suggests that participants conformed 50% of the time. However, it does not accurately represent Solomon Asch's findings.
b. All participants in the study conformed to the erroneous group response in each trial.
This answer suggests that all participants conformed in all trials. This is not true according to Solomon Asch's findings.
c. Participants in the study conformed to the erroneous group response in one-third of the trials.
This answer suggests that participants conformed 33% of the time. Again, this answer does not align with Solomon Asch's findings.
d. Ninety percent of the participants refused to conform to the erroneous group response throughout the trials.
This answer suggests that 90% of the participants did not conform to the group's wrong answers. This answer is not supported by Solomon Asch's research.
Based on our analysis, it is clear that none of the answer choices accurately represent Solomon Asch's findings. Therefore, the correct answer is none of the above.
