The Asch Conformity Experiment
阿施从众实验
The Asch Conformity Experiment was a famous psychology experiment meant to show how likely people are to agree with the majority, even if they know the majority is wrong.
阿施从众实验是一项著名的心理学实验，旨在表明人们有多大可能性会同意大多数人的观点，即使他们知道大多数人是错误的。
Solomon Asch, a Polish psychologist, conducted this experiment in 1951.
波兰心理学家所罗门·阿施在1951年进行了这项实验。
He gathered some volunteers, who were put into small groups for the experiment.
他召集了一些志愿者，然后把志愿者分成几个小组进行实验。
However, there was only one real volunteer in each group.
然而，每组中只有一名真正的志愿者。
The other people were actors.
其他人都是演员。
Asch would show the group two cards: one with a line on it, and the other with three different lines.
阿施会向全组展示两张卡片：一张上面有一条线，另一张上面有三条不同的线。
One of the lines on the second card matched the line on the first card.
第二张卡片上的一条线与第一张卡片上的线相匹配。
He would then ask the participants to pick the line that matched.
然后，他会让参与者挑出能够匹配的线。
Every once in a while, the actors all picked the wrong line, and waited for the volunteer to say their answer.
每隔一段时间，所有演员都会挑出错误的线，然后等待志愿者说出他们的答案。
About 75% of the volunteers picked the wrong answer in agreement with the group.
大约75%的志愿者选择了错误的答案，而与小组的意见一致。
This proved Asch’s theory, that people are likely to trust the opinion of a group over the opinion of an individual, even if they believe the group is wrong.
这证明了阿施的理论，即人们可能会相信一群人的观点，而不是个人的观点，即使他们认为这群人是错误的。
