a very good example of NSI and ISI being hard to distinguish as a reason for conformity is the covid[19 pandemic. poeple may have engaged in quarantine because they genuinly beleived that the virus was deadly (ISI), and because they did not want to be judged as selfish if they got caught outside (NSI). - particularly relevant to celebriies as many got cancelled for outside activities.

Hello, if the question is asking discuss research, do we have to add all of Asch's variations?

[anartistichuman]

[Quidexe]

very impressive video, i am loving the new form of content, very engaging, hopefully i get a* i got A before thru your videos ily man

[AbdulrahmanAl-Anzy]

Do these 5 videos on social influence cover the whole topic in enough detail?

[meow]

In my AQA textbook, it says 123 American men were tested in groups of 6-8. Would I need to say groups of 8-10 male college students instead? and is the baseline procedure equivalent to the aim, study method etc used for GCSE? sorry, I am doing home learning and I am receiving no support.

[victoriavicky]

Great video, are you going to remake all of social influence videos by the time exams start? :)

[erusalka]

why is there a remake of it? did AQA add more stuff to the spec? genuine question

[ZZNoO]

Will you be remaking your relationships (paper 3 option) videos?

Hi Nick,
First off, would like to thank you for your content - on behalf of many A levels students, it’s fantastic having such a great resource be so accessible, you’ve really helped me over the past 2 years.
I don’t mean to leave this comment with any negativity, but I mainly wanted to say I’m concerned by the use of AI art in this video. AI art is harmful for many reasons such as unethical data collection and use, or how it discourages people from using and employing actual artists. Your videos must take a lot of time and effort, and I don’t say this to be critical, but as an educator and someone with an audience of impressionable teens, the precedent set by you using AI generated images could be harmful and give people (especially young people) the idea that using these sorts of tools is okay. I say this not in a way to attack you or your content, but please stop using AI in your videos. For the images used in this video, stock images and royalty free art already exists that could be used just as effectively - AI isn’t necessary.
Again, I really do thank you for your content, it must be hard putting together high quality videos that are educational and to such a high standard on top of being a teacher. But the use of unethical tools isn’t necessary, and you as someone with such an important platform can help discourage this and keep content human.
(sorry for the long message!)

Taking part in social media trend is one eksempel of this. But not taking part in social media is also a trend and a way to make sure no one will laungh at you.

[LineaIbsen]

Pov is a very good eksempel of this. People use it and do clearly not understand what it means😊
