Vanessa is working on a take-home exam with her study group, and she is fairly certain that the answer to the fourth question should be option "C." Based on the research by Asch into the influence of group size on conformity, when would Vanessa be most likely to select an option other than "C"?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asch found that conformity increases with group size up to a certain point, but then levels off. The ideal group size for conformity is around three to five members, which suggests that Vanessa would be most likely to select option "D" if all four of the other students believe that the correct answer is "B." This is because the group size is at the ideal range and Vanessa may conform to the group's belief, even if she originally thought the answer was "C."
