which men thrill to the touch of gold and hearts respond to the word money instead of being thrilled by the thought of good We five in a world in which we are taught that the pursuit of happiness is an equation for the most rapid acquisition of money by whatever means If profit and money are your first priorities and compassion and commitment to people your least concern you have done little

illustrations could be given of this from everyday life but what is of particular interest to psychologists is the extent to which people s judgments and opinions can be changed as a result of group pressure Asch and others noticed that people in a group will agree to statements that are contrary to the evidence of their senses It would be a mistake to think that only particular changeable people are chosen to take part in experiments of this type Usually highly intelligent and independent people are used In a typical experiment this is what may happen The experimenter asks for volunteers to join a group which is investigating visual perception The victims are not therefore aware of the real purpose of the experiment Each volunteer is taken to a room where he finds a group of about seven people who are collaborating with the experimenter The group is shown a standard card which contains a single line They are then asked to look at a second card This has three lines on it One is obviously longer than the line on the first card one is shorter and one the same length They have to say which line on the second card is the same length as the line on the standard card The other members of the group answer first but what the volunteer does not know is that they have been told to pick one of the wrong lines When his turn comes he is 4 faced with the unanimous opinion of the rest of the group all the others have chosen line A but he quite clearly sees line B as correct What will he do According to Asch more than half of the victims chosen will change their opinion What is equally surprising is that when interviewed about their answers most explained that they know the group choice was incorrect but that they yield to the pressure of the group because they thought they must be suffering from an optical illusion or because they were afraid of being different 1 The psychologists are particularly interested in A the changes in the attitudes of the people B the degree

experiment B All of them know the purpose of the experiment C Only the experimenter knows the purpose of the experiment D Only the victim knows the purpose of the experiment 4 More than half of the victims changed their opinion because A someone in the group changed their opinion B they thought their eyes must be deceived C they thought the group choice was correct D they had been told about the answer 5 The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to A illustrate the influence of the group s pressure on individual s behavior B invite more volunteers to join in Asch s experiment C tell the audience how to perform psychological experiment D encourage people to act against the group s opinion D I have had just about enough of being treated like a second class citizen simply because I happen to be that put upon member of society a customer The more I go into shops and hotels banks and post offices railway stations airports and the like the more I m convinced that things are being run solely to suit the firm the system or the union There seems to be a harmful new motto for so called service organizations Staff Before Service How often for example have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there weren t enough staff on duty to man all 5 the service grilles of checkout counters Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to recruit cashiers and counter staff Yet supermarkets hinting darkly at higher prices claim that enshrouding all their cash registers at any one time would increase overheads And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grilles to be occupied at times when demand is low It s the same with hotels Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is curtailed As for us guests we just have to put up with it There s also the nonsense of so many so friendly hotel night porters having been dismissed in the interests of efficiency i e profits and replaced by coin guzzling machines Not to mention the coldness of the tea making kit in your room a kettle with an assortment of teabags plastic milk cartons
