A group of four friends, two men and two women, are out for an evening on the town. "I'd like to go to the bookstore and get coffee," one of the women says. "Nah, lets go over to that club and have drinks while we listen to the band," one of the men replies. What does Solomon Asch's research suggest will be the likely outcome?
A) The group will probably do both tasks, as Asch found that in a group with both men and women compromise tends to be the likely outcome.
B) The group will end up going in two separate ways - the women to the bookstore and the men to the club- as Asch found that women prefer quieter environments and men prefer louder environments.
C) The group will probably go to the bookstore, as Asch found that men are more willing to comply to the demands of women then the demands of other men.
D) The group will probably go to the club, as Asch found that women tend to conform more then men when a public response is required.
Answer: D) The group will probably go to the club, as Asch found that women tend to conform more then men when a public response is required.
