Check Yourself
Explain conformity and obedience. What are the two famous experiments that demonstrated conformity and obedience?
› Sample answer
Conformity is when someone changes beliefs or behavior due to how other people around them are behaving. This may be due to believing the other people's beliefs and behavior are more accurate or appropriate, or it may be due to wanting to be liked by others. Asch's line experimented conformity by having confederates give incorrect answers about the comparable length of two lines. When confederates gave the wrong answer, participants were more likely to conform and give an obviously incorrect answer.
Obedience is when people conform to those in authority. Obedience does not need to occur due to believing a person's actions are correct. Obedience is demonstrated in Milgram's shock experiment. People obeyed the experimenter and continue to increase the strength of an electric shock given to another participant to the point of extreme pain. There was actually no shock or other participant.
