Creative problem solving as a result of majority vs minority influence

摘要: A comparison of influence processes exerted by a majority versus minority is made, both theoretically and empirically. In this study, comparing the two in same experimental setting, it was hypothesized that subjects would ‘follow’ more than minority, is, they be influenced to adopt exact position. However, predicted exposed stimulated find new solutions problem, were not offered but have found themselves. Further, these tend correct rather incorrect. Results support predictions.
