The Power of Conformity: The Asch Conformity Experiment

The Asch Conformity Experiment is a classic study in social psychology that has demonstrated the power of conformity in groups. The experiment showed that people were more likely to go along with the majority opinion, even when it was clearly wrong. The experiment also showed that people were more likely to conform if they were part of a large group, if they were unsure of themselves, or if they believed that everyone else was correct. Overall, the experiment demonstrated the power of conformity in groups and showed that people will often go along with the majority opinion, even when it is clearly wrong.
