Method: Sherif used a lab experiment to study conformity. He used the autokinetic effect – this is where a small spot of light (projected onto a screen) in a dark room will appear to move, even though it is still (i.e. it is a visual illusion).

Asch believed that the main problem with Sherif's (1935) conformity experiment was that there was no correct answer to the ambiguous autokinetic experiment. How could we be sure that a person conformed when there was no correct answer?

Muzafer Sherif conducted a classic study on conformity in 1936. Sherif put subjects in a dark room and told them to watch a pinpoint of light and report how far it moved. Psychologists had previously discovered that a small, unmoving light in a dark room often appeared to be moving.

Sherif, Asch, and Factors that Influence Conformity ... 1. Sherif (1935) made use of the autokinetic effect to perform a classic conformity study. If you look at a stationary light in an otherwise dark room the light will appear to move, because your eyes have no other reference point.

Asch (1951) agreed that Sherif's study showed a type of conformity but, was it blind conformity?  Asch believed that once the effect of the ambiguous frame of reference was removed, there would be little or no conformity.  He felt that people would trust their own perceptions and beliefs when reality supported them...
