In a variant of the Asch line-length experiment, a single confederate was asked to deviate from the majority judgment and give the correct answer. What effect did this have on the judgment made by the true participant?

Answer:

The participant was more likely to give the answer he/she truly believed to be correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some where expecting him to be confused or that he was going to give another wrong answer, but this actually decreased his conformity, because he felt like he was only being used and that he was nothing more than a tool, but he did not knew that he was the only one who gave the correct answer.
