Supporting evidence: Nemeth 1986

Cards (2)

  • Nemeth's study study supports how flexibility can start to convert the majority to the minority​
  • Nemeth created groups of 3 participants and 1 confederate acting as a consistent minority.​
    Had to argue how much compensation to pay a victim of a skiing accident. ​
    When confederate argued for a low amount and refused to change his position, he had no effect on the majority.​
    However, when he compromised the amount with the majority, offering a little more compensation, the majority changed their decision for a much lower sum. ​
