Conformity • Sherif: Autokinetic Effect • Asch: Judging Lines • Can a group make you change your perceptions? • How can we rule out confounds?
Obedience: Milgram Study • The Situation • Predictions: How far would people go? • How far did people go? • Over 60% went all the way -- even when the “learner” stopped responding
