The Milgram Experiment If people decided to just disobey and stop taking orders from authority figures‚ then imagine what kind of world we’d be in.

Solomon Asch‚ a social psychologist had a hypothesis and he decided to test an experiment based on his hypothesis. Asch’s hypothesis theory was...

A group of people sat at a table and viewed a series of cards‚ on one side of each of the card was a standard line and on the other side were three comparison lines. Now‚ the individual’s
