In the 1950s, psychologist Solomon Asch developed a study to investigate whether peer pressure can be strong enough to change our perception and make us believe in things that are not true. To this end, he set up a clever experiment on conformity that raises questions about our ability to think freely.

By Mori, K., & Arai, M. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22044061/ Bandwagon Effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Asch conformity experiments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia EXERCISE IN THE CLASSROOM You can try repeating the experiment in your class. To do this, you can draw the 4 lines of Asch or an optical illusion (see below) on a board. Before lesson 7, ask your students to act as classmates. When you start the lesson, ask the Confederates first so they can give the clearly wrong answer. Then ask the class and note how many students gave the correct answer. When you're done, play our video and see if your and Asch's compliance results were similar. Which line is longer? Note: The Müller-Lyer illusion is an optical illusion consisting of three (or two) stylized arrows. When viewers are asked to place a mark in the center of the figure, they tend to place it more at the "back" end. The deception was invented by Franz Carl Müller-Lyer, a German sociologist, in 1889.
