Introducing an ally who resisted the majority caused conformity levels to drop sharply (5%). The presence of an ally makes an individual feel more confident and better able to stand up to the majority. Asch also discovered that people are better able to resist pressure to conform if the decision has a moral dimension. For Asch’s participants, the costs of conforming were not particularly great given the insignificance of the task. However if the behaviour is judged as immoral such as joining others in cheating there is less evidence of conformity as the costs are perceived as greater.
He found that people were much more likely to relapse when they believed withdrawals were going to be negative. Those who were told to expect no negative withdrawals were less likely to relapse as they had a positive expectation. This provides evidence for the key role expectancy has in relapse. However Tate’s experiment can be criticised. The independent group design could have meant, by chance, the group who were told to expect no negative withdraws, were naturally more determined people, thus increasing their chance of giving up anyway.
Long term problems, is the result of poor communication that is not corrected, leaving the transmitting/receiving person with feelings of not getting the results that is expected. This could result in arguments, hurt feelings and anger towards either person. People commonly believe that they communicate better with close friends than with strangers (U.S. News, 2011). That is not always true. Communicating with strangers usually results in the message being understood.
Julia Davis Costanza Was Right! Why Conformity’s An Obsession With Me Few of us admit to being conformists, particularly in a society that prides itself on rugged individualism. However, research suggests that people constantly tailor their behavior, perceptions, and opinions so as to be consistent with group norms. Sometimes conformity is born of a conscious desire not to stick out, and people make a thoughtful, deliberate decision to adopt (or reject) the position of a majority. In other instances, we conform so automatically and effortlessly that we do not realize we are adopting the behaviors of those around us.
Key 1 - Very Good 2 - Good 3 - Okay 4 - Bad 5 - Very Bad Key 1 - Very Good 2 - Good 3 - Okay 4 - Bad 5 - Very Bad Skill Of Communication | Grade given | Explanation and justification of grade | Eye Contact | 2 | The reason for this grade is because one’s self felt that I maintained eye contact very well. However, this area could be improved as eye contact was not maintained for a long enough duration. This could be improved by maintaining eye contact but making sure both myself as well as the client feels comfortable to talk. | Active Listening | 1 | The reason for this grade is because one’s self thought I actively listened exceedingly well,
However, critics of this study have claimed that due to its methodological problems, an even weaker correlation of 0.08 was more appropriate. Despite many studies showing a positive correlation between testosterone and aggression, some studies have found no such relationship, particularly those that have compared testosterone levels of aggressive and less aggressive individuals. Many studies showing positive correlation have also involved small samples of men in prisons, meaning that these studies may lack population validity. Some researchers suggest that we should distinguish aggression from dominance. Aggression refers to the intent to inflict injury, while dominance is the desire to achieve or maintain status over another.

Also if the children are with different adults at different times then the children would not maintain stability which then in turn would disable practice of the positive reinforced behaviour. The behaviourist, Skinner, argued that reinforcement was more effective than punishment in education. For example the child minder rewarding the child provides information on desirable behaviour, increases motivation to perform rather than other behaviour and are associated with pleasant emotions. Reinforcement is a very flexible form of behaviour control selective reinforcement can shape many different types of behaviour and reinforcement schedules mean reward do have to be given to desirable

One solution to overcome shyness is improving your self-esteem. To improve your self-esteem is to become extremely self-conscious and in order to do that we will have to put on a lot of attention when around other people. Some unsocial people also have negative attitudes towards their life. Sometimes they think nothing is interesting about them but someone might see something interesting about them (Mukherjee). We could also practice conversation.
