Answer 1

1. The state of mind where there is no clarity, or scope of acceptance of more than one interpretation and a state of inexactness is known as ambiguity.
   Thus, when there is no clear correct behavior, people often feel pressure to imitate the behavior of those around them. This demonstrates the power of ambiguity.
   Hence, option 4: ambiguity, is the correct answer.
   
2. The study which was mainly focused on the influence of group size on conformity was Gawkers study. The gawker’s study concluded that the pressure to conform increases in a group setting. However, conformity decreases if the group size is larger than 15 people in it.
   Hence, option 1: Gawkers, is the correct answer.
   
3. A visual perception, in which a stationary object (for example, a small light in a dark room or place), seems to move. It is a type of visual illusion. Muzafer Sherif (1935) in his experiment, used this autokinetic phenomena with a group of people to check for the conformity in an ambiguous situation.
   Hence, option 4: Muzafer Sherif, is the correct answer.
   
4. The conditions that increase the likelihood of conformity are: the ambiguous situations, or when the group is being observed, and if the group chooses or opts something unanimously.
   However, the conformity decreases if the group size is more than 10 or 15. If the group size is larger, the conformity is only to a certain level.
   Thus, the condition that does not increase the likelihood of conformity is a group size of 10 or more.
   Hence, option 2: group size of 10 or more, is the correct answer.
   
5. In the gawkers study, the percentage of those who conformed (looked up) was 80% when 15 people were looking up.
   Hence, option 3: 80%, is the correct answer.
   
6. People do not agree with the fact that they are influenced by the group pressure. Thus, they like to consider themselves as nonconformists.
   Hence, option 1: nonconformists, is the correct answer.
   
7. In the Gawkers study, the percentage of those who conformed (looked up) was 20%, when one accomplice was looking up.
   Hence, option 1: 20%, is the correct answer.
   
8. The correct answer is option 4, one-half.
9. The correct answer is option 2, 37.
10. The correct answer is option 2, informative social influence.
