Often went along with the group and picked the wrong line
The Solomon Asch experiments were designed to interpret the power of conformity and social influence. The experiment was set up with confederates and the true test subject answering non subjective questions in series. As the experiment advanced, the confederates, gave a mixture of pre-arranged answers that were meant to influence the true subject.
Asch's famous line experiment dealt with the central social psychological phenomenon of conformity, specifically studying how individuals are influenced by group pressure to conform to the incorrect answers given by others.
The line lengths used in Solomon Asch's conformity experiment varied, but generally there were three lines: one standard line and two others that were different lengths. The participants were asked to identify which of the two lines matched the standard line in length.
Psychologist Solomon Asch conducted the classic experiment on conformity and peer pressure which involved six confederates and one real participant viewing lines of different lengths to see if the participant would conform to incorrect answers given by the confederates. The study revealed the strong influence of group pressure on individual behavior.
Solomon Asch's experiment on group conformity demonstrated the powerful influence of social pressure on individuals to conform to a majority opinion, even when it goes against their own judgment. This highlights the importance of understanding the impact of group dynamics on individual decision-making and behavior.

When one of the confederates didn't agree :)
that a person could be influenced to say the wrong opinion due to peer pressure

The Asch experiment, conducted by Solomon Asch in the 1950s, measured the extent to which social pressure from a majority group could influence an individual’s conformity in their judgments. Participants were asked to compare the lengths of lines and provide their answers publicly, even though the majority gave incorrect responses. The study aimed to understand how group dynamics affect individual decision-making and the willingness to conform to group opinion, highlighting the power of social influence.
