        Advertisement in paper
        
        asked to have a discussion
        
        divided in to 9 groups
        
        then asked to discuss openly about their attitude towards Mr. C' lifestyle after getting told about the situation Mr C was in
        
        Then co-coordinator turned of camera and instructed them to to augured as if they were offended by Mr. C's behaviour
        
        Then switched the cameras back on.
        
        they asked to discuss that the company was perfectly reasonable to sack them
        
        The groups soon realised that they were being manipulated to produce evidence supporting the Oil company's position
        
        at end asked to sign a consent from to use tape in court
      - Aim
        
        to see whether people in groups would disobey in a situation where there was an unjust authority
      - Findings
        
        29/33 groups there was successfully resisted unjust authority
        
        in 29/33 the majority refused to sign the consent form
        
        9/33 groups even threatened legal action action against MHRC
        
        Some even threatened to confiscate the videotapes of the discussion
      - Conclusion
        
        Showed that people can rebel against unjust authority when there is social support
        
        Levels of disobedience were higher in this study than that of Milgram's study
        
        this may be due to the participants working in groups
    - - found that conformity decreases when there was one dissenter in a Asch type of experiment
      - this occurred due dissenter wore thick glasses and said he he had difficulty with their vision- no position to judge the length of line
      - supports view that resistance is not just motivated by following what someone else says but it enables someone to be free of the pressure from the group
    - - repeated Milgram's baseline study.
      - Used people with Internal LOC and Exteranal Loc
      - Found that 37% of internals disobeyed. whereas only 23% of externals din't continue
        
        internals show greater resistance to authority
      - Increases the validity of LOC explanation and our confidence that it can explain resistance
- - - - Found that over this time people became more resistant to obedience but also more external
        
        if resistacne were linked to an internal LOC, we would expect them to be internal
        
        this changes the link between internal LOC and increasing resistant behaviour
      - it is possible that the the results are due to changing society- where many things are out of personal control
