2. A social psychologist thinks that people are more likely to conform to a large crowd than to a single person. To test this hypothesis, the social psychologist had either one person or five persons stand on a busy walking path on campus and look up. The psychologist stood nearby and counted the number of people passing by who also looked up.
Independent variable: Size of group (5 people or 1 person)
Dependent variable: Conformity (measured by number of people looking up)
Experimental group: People passing 5 person group
Control group: People passing single person. (This group gets “less” of the independent variable)
