Sommario/riassunto

This program explores the psychological concept of conformity. It examines classic experiments by Sherif, Asch, Crutchfield, Bond and Smith, and Hofling. It looks at Milgram's obedience study; outlines factors influencing obedience and conformity, including the ways in which such factors as age, self-esteem, and culture determine probability toward compliance; and looks at the cognitive process of groupthink.
