    Asch asked participants to take part in a "vision" test but only one participant out of the group was a true participant the rest were confederates. The participants were 123 male American students. Participants were asked to view three lines of different lengths and then state one after each other which of the three lines matched a standard line. Asch made confederates state the wrong answer on 12 of the 18 trials to see if the true participant would conform even though they knew it was the wrong answer. The participants were always sat in the same order with the real participant answering last or second to last. 36.8% of participants conformed to give the incorrect answer. To prove the lines were unambiguous Asch conducted a control test with no confederates and found only 1% made a mistake
