Notes on Literature
1. Haun and Tomasello: “Conformity to Peer Pressure in Preschool Children”
a. Investigated conformity in 24 groups of 4 children between 4;2 and 4;9 years
of age.
b. Used a very similar paradigm to that of Asch’s.
c. Experiment 1: public answers.
i. Results:
1. Demonstrated strong conformity to peer pressure in preschool
children.
2. Further analysis found that girls conformed more than twice as often
as the boys.
3. In regards to children, the motivation for conforming is unclear.
4. Adults conform following two different motivations:
a. Behavioral optimization (informational conformity)
i. The motivation to adopt a majority position because it is
taken to be a trustworthy source of information about a
shared objective reality.
b. Social approval (social conformity)
i. Describes the movitation to adopt a majority position
because of the social benefits.
d. Experiment 2: private answers (pointing) to the experimenter.
i. Showed that, given identical levels of conflict and exposure to peer
opinion, children conform much more if their response is public than
when it is private.
