🎓 Solomon Asch’s Conformity Experiment (1951)

Solomon Asch wanted to study how people are influenced by group pressure.
He gathered a group of participants — but only one was real, and the others were actors.

They were shown a line and then three comparison lines (A, B, and C). The task was simple — to choose which line matched the original in length.

At first, everyone gave the correct answer. But later, all the actors deliberately gave the wrong answer.
The real participant often conformed — giving the same wrong answer as the group, even though they knew it was incorrect.

🧠 Conclusion:
Asch found that people tend to conform to group opinions to fit in or avoid standing out, even when the group is clearly wrong.
