pressure to conform is decreased if others aren't conforming so people are less likely to conform
shown in Asch's study - when a dissenter was added the conformity decreased
pressure to obey its reduced is someone else disobeys
a disobedient model challenges the legitimacy of authority
what is the locus of control
a scale
people with an internal locus of control believe that the things happen to them are controlled by them themselves
people with an external locus of control believe that the things that happen to them are outside of their control
people with an internal locus of control are more likely to resist the pressures to conform or obey as they are more likely to base their decisions on their own beliefs and people with a high internal locus of control are more likely to be more confident.
