Opinions and Social Pressure

I found this experiment to be effective in some ways but ineffective in others. In the type of setting that it was, with college students in a classroom style environment, it was a well executed experiment. The results seemed to be appropriate for this type of test also. But it would appear that this was not a very drastic experiment and the same results may not apply to a setting in which conforming to a majority is a much more serious affect, with greater consequences than embarrassment. So, overall it was a good experiment on a smaller scale, but in more serious situations such as a big test or even a life threatening situation, the results may not be so clear.
