Asch’s Conformity Study | This is a photograph taken from one of Asch’s conformity experiments. The student in the middle (#6) is the actual participant. The other participants are confederates of the experimenter. As you can see, the actual participant is perplexed by the obviously incorrect responses of the confederate participants on this trial.
