In an experiment by Schachter, subjects engaged in a group discussion of a juvenile delinquent named Johnny Rocco and were asked to suggest treatment for him ranging from "very lenient" to "very hard." When later asked how much they liked other members of their group-some of whom were confederates of the experimenter-subjects gave the highest ratings to:
A) the "slider" confederate-who first deviated, but later conformed, to the opinions of real subjects on how Johnny should be treated.
B) the "leader" confederate-who played a major role in influencing the opinions of real subjects on how Johnny should be treated.
C) the "reluctant" confederate-who refrained from voicing any opinion until all the other subjects had decided on how Johnny should be treated.
D) the "modal" confederate-who consistently conformed to the opinions of real subjects on how Johnny should be treated.
