| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who did the 'Conformity' study | Asch (1951) |
| Who did the 'Gender Stereotypes' study? | Chatard (2007) |
| Who did the 'Simulated Prison' study? | Haney (1973) |
| What was the procedure for the 'Conformity' study? | 123 male participants in groups of 8. The task was to judge which line matched the other line. There were 12 trials where 7 participants in each groupwere instructed to give the same wrong response. |
| What were the results of the 'Conformity' study? | 25% of participants did not conform 75% did conform. Those who went against the group felt uncomfortable. Those who did not go against the group lacked the confidence to go against them and wanted to fit in |
| What were the conclusions of the 'Conformity' study? | NSI affected many participants as they did not want to stand out. ISI affected participants as they were unsure of the situation but looked to others for guidance. |
| What was the evaluation of the 'Conformity' study? | High control in the study e.g same confederates meaning increased validity. Small sample size used so it lacks generalisability. Not a realistic everyday task. |
| What was the aim of the 'Gender Stereotypes' study? | to see if commonly held gender stereotypes about maths and arts affect recall of student’s grades. |
| What was the procedure for the 'Gender Stereotypes' study? | 64 French students were randomly allocated to high or low gender salience condition and asked to recall their maths & arts grades. |
| What were the results of the 'Gender Stereotypes' study? | Low salience – some recall bias for both genders across maths and arts and they recalled their scores as higher than they were. High salience – girls overestimated more than boys in art but boys overestimated and girls underestimated in maths. |
| What were the conclusions of the 'Gender Stereotypes' study? | Genders are affected by stereotypes but girls are negatively effected in maths. |
| What was the evaluation of the 'Gender Stereotypes' study? | The results are reliable as they have gained the same results from other studies. Representative sample size & good control which increases validity. May not apply to older or younger ages. |
| What was the aim of the 'Simulated Prison' study? | to investigate the effects of social roles on behaviour in a prison setting |
| What was the procedure for the 'Simulated Prison' study? | 24 participants allocated role of prisoner or guard and told to conform to the stereotype |
| What were the results of the 'Simulated Prison' study? | Guards started to humiliate the prisoners. Prisoners became submissive and showed mental distress. Prisoners and guards referred to their position rather than their name. |
| What were the conclusions of the 'Simulated Prison' study? | The situation caused men to become abusive or submissive according to the role they were assigned to. People will conform to their social role. |
| What was the evaluation of the 'Simulated Prison' study? | Random allocation meant personality factors could be eliminated. Real life application. Researchers could have influenced the participants. Unethical - caused distress |
