        answer is wright or wrong - only 1 or 2 confederates with correct answer are neaded to sway participant
        
        if answer is opinionated and person wants to fit in - larger maajority = more conformity
  - - - this lead to conformity rates drop to 9% nearly as grate as if dissenter gave correct answer this led ash to conclude breaking the groups unanimous position was the the main factor in conformity reduction
  - - - lucas et al. - found that task difficulty is moderated of the self-efficacy (self confidence )
        
        e.g when when an ash like excrement was conducted except with maths problems participants with higher self-efficacy were more independent compared to low self-efficacy participants even when questions were very hard
        
        this shows situational difference and individual differences are both important in conformity
  - - - experiment was then recreated in 1980 they only found one conforming perosn out of 396.
        
        they then used younger people as participants and probation officers as confederates these resulted reflected Asch results
        
        this shows that if cost of not confirming is higher then conformity is hier which was the case in McCarthy area in the US
- - - - example: for example a child may start smoking because that's what the cool kids do and they want to be seen as a cool kid
