10个关于社会心理学的有趣的事实

3. Most people will go along with the group, even if they think the group is wrong. In Solomon Asch's conformity experiments, people were asked to judge which was the longest of three lines. When other members of the group picked the wrong line, participants were more likely to choose the same line.

3. 很多人会服从团队（中的多数人），尽管他们认为那些是错的。在Solomon Asch的一致性实验中，人们被要求去判断三根线中最长的一根。当团队中的其它成员都选了错误的那根线时，实验对象更可能和他们做出一样的选择。

4. Situational variables can play a major role in our social behavior. In the Stanford Prison Experiment, psychologist Philip Zimbardo discovered that participants would take on the roles given to them to such an extreme that the experiment had to be discontinued after just six days. Those placed in the roles of prison guards began to abuse their power, while those in the role of the prisoners became anxious and stressed.

4. 情景变量在我们的社交行为中扮演着很重要的角色。在斯坦福的监狱实验中，心理学家Philip Zimbardo发现参与者在扮演了被分配的角色（囚徒和警卫）后逐渐变得极端，因此实验不得不在六天后终止。被分配到监狱警卫角色的人开始滥用权力，而扮演囚徒的人变得焦虑且压力重重。

5. People typically look for things that confirm their existing beliefs and ignore information that contradicts what they already think. This is known as expectation confirmation.
