Agenda:
1. Students will turn in corrections for the practice test.
2. DO NOW QUESTION: 2008 FRQ - 
We conducted a variation of Asch’s (1951) conformity study in which participants made judgments about the length of lines. We randomly assigned participants to one of two conditions and told them that the study involved perceptual abilities. In the first condition, participants estimated the length of lines after hearing
five people pretending to be participants (confederates) give inaccurate estimates. In the second condition, participants estimated the length of lines without hearing estimates of confederates. As we expected, participants in the first condition were less accurate in their estimates of line length, demonstrating the tendency to conform
to majority influence.
A) How would each element below be related to the specific content of the experiment reported in the abstract?
• Control group • Deception • Operational definition of the dependent variable • Hypothesis • Debriefing
B) How might participants’ estimates of line length in the study be related to the following?
• Cognitive dissonance • Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
3. Review FRQ Asch Experiment.
4. Review Open to student fueled questions and preparation.
