Answer: (A)
Dr. Pulaski is likely to find that approximately three-quarters (76 percent) of the subjects will conform to the group's judgment on at least one critical trial.
Explanation:
Solomon Asch conducted an experiment to find out to what extent people conform to group pressure.
He set up the experiment to include a single participant and seven confederates in a group. (A confederate is an accomplice of a researcher who is placed intentionally within an experiment by the researcher, so he can manipulate the experiment in his favor).
Each confederate was to give the same wrong answer to a certain question asked, while the participant was to provide his answer last.
Asch then observed if the single participant would tailor his answer according to the wrong answers provided by the confederates, or would provide the accurate answer.
Asch found out that from 12 trials conducted, "75% (three-quarters) of participants conformed to wrong answers provided at least once", while 25% did not conform at all.
He also discovered that on average of the trials carried out, one-third of the participants went along with the incorrect answer provided by the confederates.
Asch had also set up a control experiment with only a single participant and no confederates.
From the control experiment, he realized that less than 1% provided the wrong answer to the question asked.
Mary's doctor would probably say to her that she has nothing to worry about. What her baby is experiencing is REM or Rapid Eye Movement. This is a stage of sleeping where a person has a low muscle tone throughout the body and a frantic movement of the eyes beneath the eyelids. In this stage is where we experience dreams more vividly and if we wake up we feel refreshed and alert. mary has nothing to worry about, babies tend to dream vividly even at such an early stage in our lives.
Hope this helps!
<span>This theory states that we compare ourselves socially, financially, and physically to others and decide how successful we are based on these comparisons. The most persuasive thing to a person using this theory would be similar people, because he or she would compare themselves more to people like him or her.</span>
The answer is argument. :)
