About this episode

This episode explores Solomon Asch's conformity study and its implications for social influence and peer pressure.

Why do people conform to group pressure even when they know the group is wrong? In this video, we explore Solomon Asch's landmark conformity study, Opinions and Social Pressure (1955), and reveal what his famous experiments teach us about social influence, peer pressure, independent thinking, and human psychology.
