I describe Muzafer Sherif's early research using the autokinetic effect to demonstrate informational influence, followed by Solomon Asch's well-known work on conformity. Asch distinguished between private acceptance and public compliance to explain why participants conformed and how they also experienced normative influence to go along with the group. Lastly I consider some criticisms of the Asch paradigm and a study by Baron, Vandello, and Brunsman investigating how task importance and desire for accuracy might influence levels of conformity.

www.psychexamreview.com In this video I discuss the relationship between stress, personality, and heart disease. Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman proposed that Type A personality, characterized by competitiveness and hostility, was associated with 7x more heart disease than Type B personality, characterized by a more laid-back and calm demeanor. The frequent spikes of blood pressure associated with episodes of anger may increase arterial damage as well as the possibility of accumulated plaque breaking off and entering blood circulation. As we'll see in future videos, stress management techniques can help with coping and reduce this risk. Like these videos?
