Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In Conformity Experiment, which was carried out in 1950s by a Polish-American psychologist known as Solomon Asch. The experiment which is sometimes referred to as Asch Paradigm or Asch Conformity Experiment, concluded that, individual or people tend to conform to the opinion of others, basically on two reasons which are:

1. Individuals conform with the group answers strictly because they do not want to be seen as odd or ridiculed of picking different answer.

2. Individuals conform with the group choice of answer, because they believe the group actually made correct choice, in the hope that, the group were better informed.

This experiment is often used to explain the power of Conformity and normative social influence among people.

Hence, the answer is FALSE as Solomon Asch Experiment showed that most people will accept and not resist the efforts of an otherwise unanimously agreed group.
