- Evaluation
- The task set is is artificial. Participants were asked to
compare lines. It is not everyday that people sit and
compare lines thus the study lacks ecological validity.
Because the task was easy and unrealistic the participants
could've easily guessed that the others are confederates
and therefore played along which would sabotage the
findings thus the study's results may not apply to real life
situations as they are affected by demand characteristics.
- Asch's research is limited due to many reasons. All
participants in the study were male thus the results
conducted lack population validity as the sample is
not representative of the target population. The
study also lacks population validity because the
participants were all American and thus the
findings can't be applied to other ethnic groups or
societies.

social norms and values,

group is present. This is
external and temporary.

- Compliance
- Explinations
- Normative Social Influence
- The desire to be liked. When you do what others do so you're not left out
or rejected by the group. For example a person may feel pressurised to
smoke because the rest of their friends are. Normative influence tends to
lead to compliance because the behaviour is temporary.

- Informational Social Influence
- This is the desire to be right. We conform because we are unsure
of the situation or we dont know so we look at what other do and
assume that they have more knowledge on the topic. If you go to a
posh restaurant for the first time, You might not know which fork
to use so you look at others and copy. This usually leads to
internalisation: perminent change
