This video (looks like from the 1970's) shows psychological
research in the dynamics of conformity. How people will
go along with group opinion despite their own direct perceptions.
I used to wonder why research like this was even ever conducted
at all. Now I know why.
This study is being conducted by Solomon Asch, a "revered"
psychologist who taught at Swarthmore College and founded
The Solomon Asch Center for Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict (http://www.psych.upenn.edu/sacsec/).
Anyway, here's the video (http://sciencehack.com/videos/view/DKivdMAgdeA#searchkeywords).
