Independence Versus Conformity is a look back at the research of Solomon E Asch. At the time his work would be a successful attempt at supporting the earliest research pertaining to social psychology, the scientific study of how behavior can be affected by social surroundings. This research as it would turn would support the notion individual opinion could be easily altered the result of the opinions of one's social surrounding. Asch would take more of a hands-on approach within his demonstration as compared to the work of Bernheim, as an example. Asch's 1955 study would act as a middle ground, bridging the earliest studies of the beginning of the 20th century to the present day findings of a more modern social psychology. The research in creation of this report would act as a follow-up to the 1955 study, in a creative means of putting the author himself in an evaluatory position within the actual experiment.
About the Author: Steven would grow-up in a small town in Boston, Massachusetts playing with other children in his neighborhood. Steven would lead a mostly quiet life spending much of his time devoted to his studies. Steven would view himself more as a curious person than as a genius. He was born on July 13, 1975, his father was a machinist and mother Beverly was daughter to a machinist. Steven liked running and climbing but most of all he liked collecting, match box cars, baseball cards, muscle men figures, and pretty much anything else he could get his hands on. Steven would grow-up with his two sisters who as mentioned earlier would lead a relatively quiet life. Steven was not a very successful student during high-school and at times would rebel at home by sneaking out of the house at night to join in the endeavors of locals in the neighborhood. Despite Steven's lackluster performance in high-school he would succeed within University of Phoenix receiving a Bachelor of Science degree graduating with honors. During this time Steven would author four works pertaining to his area of study and another on the secrets to self-publishing. He may be most known for his collection of 60+ e-books. He is currently continuing his studies within the IO Psychology Ph.D. program in which he is hoping to complete his Master's degree by 2015 and Doctorate degree by 2018. stevecarley.us
