Asch's experiment would be taught in a social psyc college course because it demonstrates how people will change their answers even if they know they are right just because everyone else is doing it.
Milgram's experiment is taught mainly because of ethics, which is covered in several different psych courses. The experiment also demonstrates the power of authority. Milgram's study was originally started to prove that American's were not like Natzi's and would not do horrible things even if an authority commanded it. Milgram was shocked to find out just how powerful authority is with his experiment. It's a great one to learn about and get you interested in psychology.
The Solomon Asch study found that individuals are likely to conform to a group's opinion even when they know it is incorrect, due to social pressure to fit in. This revealed the power of social influence and the importance of individual independence in resisting conformity.
Conformity
Often went along with the group and picked the wrong line
Asch's study has low ecological validity as it was conducted in a lab setting with artificial tasks. The findings may not accurately represent how people behave in real-life social situations due to the controlled nature of the experiment.
The Solomon Asch experiment aimed to study conformity by observing how individuals would conform to a majority opinion, even if it was incorrect. The design involved a subject being shown a line and asked to match it with one of three lines of different lengths, while confederates purposely gave the wrong answer. Asch then analyzed how often the subject would conform to the incorrect majority opinion.
