Solomon Asch Experiment

The Solomon Asch Experiment demonstrated the power of conformity. In his experiment he had a total of 7 kids come into his class. 6 of the students were told the experiment and 1 of the students was not. They all were shown a piece a paper that had 3 lines that were letter A,B, and C. They then were to say which line was the longer line. The first 6 students purposely said the second shortest one. When it came to the 7th student, he knew that the rest of the students and said the wrong answer but he chose to conform with the rest of the students and said the wrong answer as well.
