Final answer:
The notion that caption width should be consistent is generally true to ensure clarity and accuracy in data representation, however, the principle is context-specific. For interpreting graphical elements such as in Asch's study, box plots, or wave amplitudes, consistency and non-interference are key considerations.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement about caption width is likely discussing the concept of consistency in data display or graphical representations. In general, ensuring that caption widths, or any graphical elements, are consistent is important for accurate data interpretation and aesthetic appeal, hence the statement may be considered true.
However, it should be noted that this principle can be context-specific. In terms of the student's question-related examples such as line lengths in Asch's conformity study, or the spacing of columns, or interpreting a box plot, consistency in presentation is key to avoid misinterpretation.
As for statement 58, it is generally false that one wave's amplitude is affected by another unless they interact, which involves more than just alignment. Amplitudes are intrinsic properties of individual waves and do not change due to the presence of another wave unless there's interference.
