Please read the following articles and answer the following questions:

a)    Define compliance, obedience, and conformity.  Which article goes with which term (note the title of the articles may not be the best description)?

b)    How does the Asch article apply to previous readings of self-justification?  That is, can you see a group process occurring when most people agree?

c)    Apply what you learned in the Milgram and Haney and colleagues article to more current events.

Asch, S. E. (1955). Opinions and social pressure. Scientific American, 193, 31-35

Haney, C., Banks, C., & Zimbardo, P. (1973). Interpersonal dynamics in a simulated prison. International Journal of Criminology and Penology, 1, 69-97.
