In one condition, three accomplices, posing as students, chose an incorrect answer before the subject could respond. Frequently, the subject would then also select an incorrect response. This result illustrates ________.A)the influence of group pressure to conform B) the low-ball technique C) an informational social influence D) the absence of individuation tendencies in some participants E) the effects of compliance the influence of group pressure to
conform In Asch's classic experiment, a standard-setting line was first presented to small groups of people, followed by the presentation of three comparison lines of different lengths. In one condition, three accomplices, posing as students, chose an incorrect answer before the subject could respond. ________ of the research participants agreed with a clearly incorrect answer at least once. A) More than 75 percent D) About 50 percent B) All E) Less than 5 percent C) One third More than 75 percent In Asch's classic experiment, a standard-setting line was first presented to small groups of people, followed by the presentation of three comparison lines of different lengths. In one condition, three accomplices, posing as students, chose an incorrect answer before the subject could respond. ________ of the research participants never yielded to group pressure to accept an incorrect response. A) Almost 25 percent B) About 5 percent C) 50 percent D) About 75 percent E) none In several variations on Asch's classic experiment, a standard-setting line was first presented to small groups of people, followed by the presentation of three comparison lines of different lengths. In one condition, two of three accomplices, posing as students, chose an incorrect answer before the subject could respond. The third accomplice sometimes chose a correct response and sometimes chose a more incorrect response. Under these conditions, respondents were more likely to choose the correct response. These results suggest ________.

Which compliance technique involves making a small request followed by a larger request?The foot in the door technique is a compliance tactic that assumes agreeing to a small request increases the likelihood of agreeing to a second, larger request. So, initially you make a small request and once the person agrees to this they find it more difficult to refuse a bigger one (Freedman & Fraser, 1966).
What are the three techniques of compliance?The experimental analysis of compliance has focused primarily on three multiple request procedures: (1) the foot-in-the-door technique, (2) the door-in- the-face technique, and (3) the low-ball technique.
Which technique of compliance is being used when a person first makes a large request and then after it has been refused makes a smaller request?The door-in-the-face technique is a persuasive tactic of making a large request that a person will likely refuse in order to get the person to subsequently agree to a smaller request.
