And what did this Asch test involve?

阿希实验的内容是什么？

Asch's main finding was that group pressure can change a person's opinion, of even obvious facts.

阿希最重要的发现就是一个人的判断会因团队压力而改变，即使问题的答案相当明显。

Asch brought a group of people into a room, and got them to solve 18 of these line questions.

阿什把一群人带到一个房间里，让他们解答 18 道这样的直线问题。

When Asch ran a variation of the experiment that allowed the subject to write their answer down privately, conformity rates dropped.

当阿什进行了一个变相实验，允许实验对象私下写下他们的答案时，从众率下降了。

The first factor is Group size: Asch noticed that conformity was greatest when there was a group of at least three people.

阿什注意到，当一群人中至少有三个人时，从众行为最为明显。

Those of you taken psych 1, those of you haven't, may have heard of the Asch Conformity Experiment, where people conformed to the idea of the group.

修读或没修读过初级心理学的可能都听说过阿施从众心理实验，个体对群体存在从众现象。

Asch asked participants why they had conformed, and they gave various answers: some said that they didn't know if they were actually right, and some said that they didn't want to stand out from the group.

阿什问参与者为什么要从众，他们给出了不同的答案：一些人说他们不知道自己是否真的正确，一些人说他们不想在群体中太过显眼。
