CONTEXT
Is conformity good or bad? Are people willing to hurt one
another just because an authority told them to? Some of the
most fascinating research results about human behavior were
intending to answer these very questions. The results on the
topics of social conformity and obedience to authority revealed
some disturbing revelations about human behavior and about
potential harm to participants in research. The studies and their
results had tremendous implications for the field on how we
conduct research—and on how we understand the influence of
social pressure and leadership. Because of the significant
implications in both research and application, these studies have
been some of the most controversial and hotly debated topics in
psychology.
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider
the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a
work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the
business community.
•
Is deception always necessary when conducting research in
social psychology with human participants?
Do the insights gained from research justify deceiving people?
