Question
select the word that means to do what others do.
psychologists have studied how people’s opinions are affected by what other people say. in the 1950s, solomon asch conducted an experiment in which he found that people tended to conform to the majority view. in the experiment, a participant was told that he would be taking a vision test with a group. but the rest of the group in the experiment had secretly been instructed to give wrong answers when shown certain images. when the uninformed person heard the other group members giving an incorrect answer, he tended to give that as his answer, too, even though he was seeing something different with his own eyes. the asch experiments are among some of the most famous in psychology.
The text describes Solomon Asch's experiment where people changed their answers to match the group's wrong responses. The word that means "to do what others do" is explicitly used in the text to describe this behavior.
