Soloman Asch and a classic You Tube
”Soloman Asch (1952 p.261) expressed the complexity of team composition using a chemical analogy:
A substance like water is made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen and yet has different properties from either constituent. Furthermore, these same molecular constituents when differently organized or structured produces substances with quite different characteristics such as ice, water or steam. Thus in the real sense the compound H20 is not the simple aggregate of its constituents but is crucially affected by their arrangement. So too with human compounds, or groups”
(Rutkowski,Saunder,Vogel and Genuchten 2007, p 20)
So it got me thinking and wanting to know more about Soloman Asch. I stumbled across a classic YouTube on his experiments on group conformity and how people bow to the pressure of the group. Apart from the fashion, side burns and lack of women it is an interesting study on group think.
