Since Asch and Milgram’s research, psychologists have examined explanations of resistance to social influence, our willingness to conform or obey, including social support and locus of control.
Independent behavior is a term that psychologists use to describe behavior that seems not be influenced by other people.

This suggests that a high degree of internality is only helpful when conformity occurs to gain approval.
This suggests any from of social support is effective, but it is more effective when it is perceived as valid.
This externalisation may be due to the increasing levels of alienation experienced by young people and a tendency to explain misfortunes in terms of outside forces in the latter years of the twentieth century.
This illustrates Milgram’s finding that a disobedient confederate gives a person the confidence and courage to resist obeying.
These findings indicate that having an internal LOC is a powerful factor in resisting social influence.
