| Social Influence | Topic 3 |
| Normative and Informational Social Influence | Deutsch and Gerard, 1955 Two main reasons people conform- the need to be liked, and the need to be right |
| Asch's Research | Asch, 1951-55 Testing conformity. Showed participants lines and asked them to match A,B or C to line X. There was one naïve participant among confederates who gave the wrong answers. |
| Asch's Variations | Asch, 1951-55 Changed the group size, unanimity and task difficulty to see how it affected conformity |
| The Stanford Prison Experiment | Zimbardo, 1973 Assigned participants the role of guard or prisoner in a fake prison. Used to test conformity to social roles. |
| Milgram's Research | Milgram, 1963 Study into obedience, included 'teacher' (participant) and 'learner' (confederate). The learner had to answer questions and when wrong, the teacher had to shock them (up to 450V) |
| Situational Variables | Milgram, 1963 Created 3 variations for his experiment: Location, Uniform and Proximity. |

| Legitimacy of Authority | Milgram, 1960s-70s Regards authority figures- can sometimes be destructive e.g. Hitler, Stalin, Trump |
| Authoritarian Personality | Adorno, 1950 Created a questionnaire called the F-scale to work out if people were authoritarian (obedient to authority, contemptuous to inferior) |
| Locus of Control | Rotter, 1966 External LOC- don't have control of life's events Internal LOC- do have control of life's events |
