1
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:11.500
After the first two trials have been completed, the confederates begin giving a wrong answer.

2
00:00:11.750 --> 00:00:20.500
Will the real participant continue to give the correct answer or will that person conform to the group standard?

3
00:00:20.750 --> 00:00:31.500
On the third trial, the correct answer is clearly Line C, but all the confederates choose Line A.

4
00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:37.500
The real participant is amazed, but calls out “Line C”.

5
00:00:37.750 --> 00:00:48.500
On Trial 4, all the confederates choose Line B, which is clearly not correct.

6
00:00:48.750 --> 00:00:58.500
The real participant defies the group one more time by choosing Line A, the correct answer.

7
00:00:58.750 --> 00:01:12.500
But on Trial 5, when the confederates all choose Line C, another wrong answer, the real participant says “Line C.”

8
00:01:12.750 --> 00:01:24.500
The real participant defied the group pressure for a few trials, but eventually gave in and conformed to the group's wrong answer.
