Studies of conformity, like the Sherif and Asch experiments, show that individuals do not have as much control over their own actions as they may think.

Solomon Asch was an influential social psychologist who proved that human behavior is significantly impacted by groups.

The Asch experiment showed that people's individual perceptions can be influenced by the perceptions of a larger group.

Study subjects in the Asch experiment were tricked into believing that their peers were also participants, instead of confederates.
