No. Asch measured judgement of line length when in the presence of other people. You are likely confusing him with Milgram. Milgram told participants that a device they were using would send electric shocks to another participant. However, these were still not real electric shocks, and the stooge on the other side pretended.
Socialization.
People conformed in Asch's experiments due to social pressure and the desire to fit in with the group. They were influenced by the unanimous incorrect responses given by the majority of the group, leading them to doubt their own judgement and conform to the group norm.
Briefly, Milgram's experiments showed that people will readily obey authority, even at the cost of harming innocent persons.
Approximately 65% of the experimental subjects in Stanley Milgram's obedience experiments eventually applied the maximum 450-volt shock to the learner despite the learner's expressions of pain and desire to stop.
The Milgram experiment was a series of social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram in the 1960s. The studies measured the willingness of individuals to obey authority figures who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience. The results demonstrated the power of situational factors in influencing behavior.
Colleges teach about Asch and Milgram studies to demonstrate the power of conformity and obedience in social psychology. These studies highlight how individuals can be influenced by group pressure or authority figures to behave in ways that may go against their own beliefs or values. Understanding these concepts can help students analyze and navigate social influences in various contexts.
