[edit] Hey

Hey dudes you should put more on this internet site about Asch himself so that people know his background. Please. Thank you.

[edit] Asch's conformity experiments are unreplicable

Only one subject out of hundreds of trials actually sided with the erroneous majority.

Does Perrin and Spencer explain the calculation that derived 33% out of "one out of hundreds?" 68.105.109.51 00:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Source?

while those in the Milgram experiment blamed the experimenter in explaining their behavior. I think the conclusions of both parties experimented on may need to have some sort of documented source.

[edit] Factual Correctness vs. Social Norms

If those lines became an actual person, and if I am 1.6m tall, and A & C are distorted picture of me at 1.4m tall and 1.8m tall, and B is the real me at 1.6m tall, then while it is factually correct to say B as the right answer, but it supposed hurts 'my' feeling, so C is the socially accepted answer. Now, an experimenter uses that rationale to the confederates, what results can we expect then if the confederates outnumber the real subjects?

What? I don't understand your point. The confederates aren't being tested. The experiment is to see whether the subjects would concur with the confederates, and it found they did. Nik42 02:57, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Published in 1953?

It says it was published in 1953, yet there's no references from 1953. Where's the original published document at? OptimistBen | talk - contribs 16:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
