Essay

Describe the Asch experiments.How can we use these findings to improve group outcomes? A.One after the other,the members announced their decision.The confidants had been instructed to give an incorrect response.The subject sat in the next to last seat so that all but one had given the incorrect answer before he or she provided his or her response.The average student conformed to every group response on 32 percent of the trials and 74 percent of the subjects conformed to the incorrect response at least once.
The results of the Asch experiment were astonishing,especially since the correct answer was entirely obvious.Subjects had to override the evidence they observed or provide an answer that conformed to the others.
When interviewed afterward,subjects said that they had been influenced by group pressure,not wanting to appear silly,and the need to avoid criticism from others.Each student perceived the group as a reference group that provided information through their responses on the group norms.
