Resource summary
resistance to social influence
social support
conformity
pressure to conform is reduced if other people do not conform
Asch
even if the person doesn't agree with you but goes against the group - acts as a model
effect not long lasting as if the person then agrees with the group so will the participant
obedience
pressure to obey reduced if others do not obey
Milgram
obedience dropped to 10% when the participant was joined with a confederate
again do not have to agree but frees up their own conscience
locus of control
Rotter
internal vs external control
internal
control their own destiny
external
do not have control
continuum
as well as high internal/ external you can be in the middle
resistance to social influence
internal
resist pressures to conform / obey
more self confident
more achievement orientated
higher intelligence
less need for social approval
evaluation - social support
research support - conformity
Allen & Levine
conformity decreased when someone disagreed (in an Asch like study)
even when the person who disagreed wore glasses - couldn't judge line length
supports that resistance isn't just to follow what someone says but frees up your own opinion
research support - obedience
Gamson
higher levels of resistance than Milgram
participants were in groups
29 out of 33 (88%) rebelled
peer support = greater resistance
evaluation - locus of control
research support
Holland
repeated Milgram's baseline study
measured whether people were internal or external
37% internals did not go all the way
23% externals did not go all the way
increases validity
contradictory research
Twenge
analysed data from American studies over 40 years
found people have become more external however more resistant to obedience
however this could be due to a change I society
evaluation +
limited role of loc
Rotter found that the role of loc may have been exaggerated
it has little influence in familiar situations (previous experience will be more important)
