The study which reflected that the people of the group conform to the group members even knowing that the conformity to the thing is wrong or being foolish is reflected by the Asch Studies.

Answer : Option A

Explanation:

The Asch Studies reflects that the conformity is more important than the wisdom behind the conformity. The group members conform to the group even knowing that the thing is conforming to, is either wrong or foolish. Such tendency was reflected by the Line Experiment, designed and experimented by Solomon Asch.

The experiment demonstrated the group conformity despite the feel or wisdom of the individuals of the group. Although by further study, this study was highly criticized because the conformity rate developed and studied was very small.
