To investigate the effects of others' judgments, an undergraduate brought 60 students individually into a laboratory setting. Each judged which of two grays was brighter. Some judged alone, some judged with one other person present, and for some, there were three others present. These "extras"were confederates of the researcher who gave their opinion first and always judged the darker gray as brighter. Participants were classified as conforming (acceding to the incorrect group judgment) or independent (giving the correct answer). For those who judged alone, one out of 20 were "conformers."With one confederate, two out of 20 were conformers, and with three confederates, 15 out of 20 were conformers. Analyze the data and write a conclusion.
