a desire to fit in/be normal. doing what other people are doing because you are unsure of what else to do
5 of 9
a strength of ISI
Lucas et al (2006) asked students to give answers to both easy and hard math questions- more conformity to incorrect answers when the questions difficult
6 of 9
a limitation of ISI
Asch (1955) students where less conformist (28%) than other participants (37%)- there are individual differences
7 of 9
a strength of NSI
Asch (1951) showed that people said they agreed with a wrong answer even if they knew it was wrong because they felt self conscious of disapproval. rates of conformity fell to 12.5% when asked to write their answers down
8 of 9
a limitation of NSI
individual difference- some people care more about being liked than others
