Detailed explanation-1: -The experiment concluded that people conform for two main reasons: they want to fit in with the group (normative influence) and because they believe the group is more informed than they are (informational influence).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Asch conformity experiments consisted of a group “vision test”, where study participants were found to be more likely to conform to obviously wrong answers if first given by other “participants”, who were actually working for the experimenter.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asch used a line judgement task, where he placed on real naïve participants in a room with seven confederates (actors), who had agreed their answers in advance. The real participant was deceived and was led to believe that the other seven people were also real participants.
Detailed explanation-4: -What did the Asch line length study show? The Asch line length study showed that people can be influenced by an interest to assimilate. They may change their beliefs and behaviors in order to fit in with a group.
