SUPPORTING EVIDENCE

ALLEN AND LEVINE 1971

Conformity decreased when there was one dissenter in an Asch-type study...

Occured even if the dissenter wore thick glasses and said he had difficulty with his vision.

RESEARCH FOR RESISTANCE TO OBEDIANCE...

RANK AND JACOBSON 1997

Part of a replica of the Hofling experiment found that the nurses wouldn't blindly follow the instructions given if they had the oppourtunity to discuss with others first.

2/18 nurses carried out the lethal dosage.

Dispositional factors

Dispostional Factors

Locus of control

Locus of control

INTERNAL VS EXTERNAL

INTERNAL VS EXTERNAL

INTERNAL- The belief that YOU have control over your life...

EXTERNAL- The belief that SOMEBODY ELSE has control over your life...

If someone takes personal responsibility fro their actions, they are more likely to base their decisions on THEIR OWN beliefs.

HIGH INTERNAL= more self confident, more achievemnt orientated, higher intelligence and less need for social approval.

CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE
