- Resisting obedience
- Pressure to obey can be resisted if
another person is seen to disobey.
- Milgram's research: rate of obedience dropped
from 65% to 10%. Disobedient model
challenges the legitimacy of authority.

- Real world support
- Albrecht et al (2006) Teen Fresh Start USA found
that when social support was provided in the form
of a buddy, they were less likely to smoke at the
end of the programme.

- Support for dissenting peers
- Gamson et al (1982) asked to produce evidence used to
help an oil company run a smear campaign. Higher
levels of resistance found as participants were in
groups so could discuss. 88% rebelled.

- Resisting conformity
- Locus of Control
- Julian Rotter (1966) proposed the locus of control
- Internal
- Believe that things that happen to
them are controlled by themselves
- Believe that things that happen to
them are controlled by themselves
- External
- Tend to believe the things that
happen are outside their control.
- Tend to believe the things that
happen are outside their control.
- LOC continuum
- Locus of control is a scale and
individuals vary in their position.

- Resistance to social influence
- High internal LOC people are more resistant to
social pressures of conforming or obeying. Taking
personal responsibility for actions means
decisions are based on own decisions and beliefs.

- Internal
- Evaluation
- Strengths
- Research Support
- Holland (1967) repeated Milgram's study and
assessed whether participants were internal or
external. 37% internals did not follow through to the
highest shock level, but only 23% externals didnt.
- Resistance partially related to locus of control

- Research Support
- Weaknesses
- Contradictory evidence
- Twenge et al (2004) analysed data from American LOC studies. Over time
people became less obedience but also more external. If resistance was
linked to LOC then would be expected to be a higher internal figure.
