The study I found was the Asch conformity experiment. This was a psychological experiment designed to study how the subject would react to the actor's behavior. In the eighteen tests completed, seven actors and one participant were told to match a line of a certain length with its twin. They were given three different lines to choose from. In these experiments, the participant didn't know that the others were actors, who were told to choose the wrong line. Solomon Asch hypothesized that the test subject would conform their response to the same line that the actors chose, whether it be obviously wrong or right. He based this off what he observed throughout the time, and how rumors and false facts appeared.
