Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asch's work on conformity shows that people are less likely to conform when they perceive others as being nonconformist. In the Milgram study, if a confederate refuses to administer the shocks, it would signal to the participant that it is acceptable to disobey the authority figure and go against the norm, which would likely decrease obedience. The other options are unlikely to decrease obedience as they do not involve a clear signal of nonconformity or divergence from the perceived norm.
