If a person is outnumbered 3 to 1, the conformity effect is about as strong as if the person were outnumbered

A) 2 to 1.
B) 7 to 1.
C) 6 to 2.
D) 10 to 5.

Research in social psychology, particularly the studies on conformity such as those by Solomon Asch, has shown that the pressure to conform increases with the number of people in the majority up to a point, but additional numbers beyond 3 or 4 do not significantly increase the conformity effect. Thus, being outnumbered 3 to 1 is about as strong as being outnumbered 7 to 1 in terms of the pressure to conform.
