Answer:

These findings support the importance of a unanimous group in creating conformity

Step-by-step explanation:

In this experiment, Asch could explain how a group is conducted by the major opinion, and how a simple change from the point of view can create controversy and dissolve the group. More than just human behavior is a psychological condition to follow the crowd, to not be different. It's a way to safeguard itself.
