36.8% of the time participants gave the wrong answer. 25% of participants did not conform. |
|

The study took place in the 1950s so it isn't as accurate for modern day life due to the different expectations in the 1950s to now. |
|
|
What was the issue of the tasks being manufactured in Asch's study? |
It fails to reflect everyday life as participant knew they were being watched so it lacks applicable value. |

What was the issue with the gender only being male in Asch's study? |
All participants were male so it's hard to generalise to how females would've reacted. This could also be said for the fact all were undergraduates from the same place making it hard to generalise to other places. |

Group size, unanimity and task difficulty |
