I have a student who is doing a research project
on conformity and so far has not found any research studies specifically related
to her topic. She wants to see if people are more likely to conform to an
obviously incorrect answer (similiar to Asch's study) if the source of
information is an expert vs. a nonexpert. (She is looking to see if the
participants change their answers; also if their confidence in their answers
changes after talking to the expert/nonexpert.) Any help would be greatly
appreciated. TIA
