Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asch's classic obedience study involved agreement with others' obviously wrong perceptual judgments, specifically regarding the length of lines. It did not involve compliance with commands to shock another or assessing suggestibility regarding movement of light. The idea of enabling a small act of evil to foster the attitude that leads to a bigger evil act is more closely related to Milgram's obedience study.
