Question

A student in a large lecture class discovers that some of his classmates have formed a secret online group in which they are passing around a copy of an upcoming exam. The group invites the student to join. Identify the likely and the unlikely responses to this invitation, according to Solomon Asch’s study of group norms.

Answer 1

The likely scenario in this case will be that the student will most likely join the secret online group if many of his friends are involved in the group.

Another likely scenario is that the student will likely join the group if the majority of the class makes up the group or if the majority of the class are in the group.
