"Conformity sharply rises then plateaus." — Asch (1955)
The pattern shown best supports which conclusion about Asch's line-judgment paradigm?
- A
Conformity is highest with a single confederate
- B
Group size has no effect on conformity
- Ccheck_circle
Conformity rises with group size up to ~3-4 then plateaus
- D
Conformity decreases linearly with group size
Explanation
Asch found conformity sharply increased as confederate number grew from 1 to about 3 or 4 and then leveled off—additional confederates beyond that point added little incremental pressure.
