Abstract

The study set out to prove that an individual's perception of a majority can affect his judgment about a visual stimulus. The study was designed to find out through experimentation, the influence of college course on the way Political Science freshmen judged a visual stimulus. The study was of further exploration of Abrams (1990) findings of Asch's (1956) type conformity experiments. The study was exclusive to the college environment. Although a deeper statistical analysis was not possible, the results hold true with the findings of Abrams. The nonsignificance of the analysis of variance lends itself to the high-within-group variability simply because the subjects scores in the treatment groups are extreme. This consistent with Asch werein the average subjects made judgment errors 37 percent of the time, and 74 percent of the subjects made an error at ;east once. Conformity had occurred in each group varying only in degree.
