Question 2 of 10 In Asch's experiment with lines, which one of these did not lower conformity rates? A. Having only two people in the group B. Having people write down their answers C. Having one person give a wrong answer D. Having confederates who were more attractive

The correct answer is:<br /><br />**D. Having confederates who were more attractive**<br /><br />### Explanation:<br />In Solomon Asch's conformity experiments, the factors that influenced conformity rates were carefully studied. Here's how each option relates to conformity:<br /><br />- **A. Having only two people in the group:** Smaller group sizes tend to reduce conformity because the social pressure is weaker when fewer people are present.<br /><br />- **B. Having people write down their answers:** Writing answers privately reduces conformity because it removes the fear of judgment or ridicule from others.<br /><br />- **C. Having one person give a wrong answer:** If even one person breaks the unanimity of the group by giving a different answer (even if it's also incorrect), conformity rates drop significantly. This is because it provides social support for dissent.<br /><br />- **D. Having confederates who were more attractive:** The physical attractiveness of the confederates was not a factor studied in Asch's experiments and does not directly influence conformity rates. Therefore, this option did not lower conformity rates.<br /><br />
