Generalization of relative competence mediating conformity across differing tasks
Subject correctness and group agreement were initially varied for college subjects performing a multiple‐choice informational task (Canadian Knowledge Inventory). On a subsequent perceptual task (Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices), the dependent variable of conformity was assessed to examine generalization of relative competence formed on the informational task. It was seen that: (1) Those who perceived themselves to be less competent than th…
Conformity as a function of task generalization and relative competence
Subject correctness and group agreement were varied for college subjects engaged in a light discrimination task. On another task, employing multiple‐choice questions about Canada, the dependent variable of conformity was assessed to examine generalization of relative competence formed on the light discrimination task. It was seen that (1) relative competence was seen to mediate conformity for a specific task (Canadian Knowledge Inventory), but di…
Effects of prior group agreement and task correctness on relative competence mediating conformity
Fifty‐six male and 61 female university students participated in a 2 × 2 × 2 design with task correctness‐incorrectness, group agreement‐disagreement and sex of subject constituting the classification factors. A modified Crutchfield apparatus served to manipulate a subject's prior experience of correctness and agreement, and to measure subsequent conformity. Correctness and group agreement were seen to interact to produce varying degrees of perce…
