Perceptual judgment task used in Asch’s conformity studies

Description
Which of the comparison lines is the same length as the standard line? The correct answer is line B, and most people find that to be obvious. However, in Asch’s experiments, many people conformed with the confederates and gave the wrong answer. For some participants, including the man in this photo, the experience must have been baffling.
