8. What were the evaluative points?
As the overall conformity rate on the critical trials was only 32%, the majority of people are actually not conformist, but independent.
As the overall conformity rate on the critical trials was only 75%, the majority of people are conformist, not independent.
As the overall conformity rate on the critical trials was only 5%, the majority of people are actually not conformist, but independent.
As the overall rate of independance on the critical trials was only 75%, the majority of people are actually not conformist, but independent.
9. What were the conclusions?
There are small individual differences in the amount to which people are affected by majority influence. As most participants conformed publicly not privately, it suggests that they were motivated by informational social influence.
There are big individual differences in the amount to which people are affected by majority influence. As most participants conformed publicly not privately, it suggests that they were motivated by normative social influence.

11. What were the evaluative points?
