Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Changing behaviour or beliefs to fit in with a group
Award 1 mark. Conformity is yielding to group pressure, real or imagined, by changing what you do or say to match others. Following an order is obedience, refusing to change is independence, and leading a group is leadership.

What is a confederate in a psychology study?

  1. A real participant who is unaware of the aim
  2. A researcher who analyses the results
  3. Someone who acts a part on the researcher's instructions
  4. A person who refuses to take part
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Someone who acts a part on the researcher's instructions
Award 1 mark. Confederates appear to be participants or members of the public but follow a script set by the researcher, as in Asch's and Milgram's studies. The real participant is usually unaware of the aim, and confederates do not analyse results.

Edexcel GCSE Psychology: Social Influence: Conformity FAQ

Is Kramizo free for Edexcel GCSE students preparing for Psychology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Social Influence: Conformity practice with other Psychology topics or even switch to a totally different Edexcel subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Social Influence: Conformity questions aligned to the official Edexcel GCSE Psychology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Edexcel GCSE Psychology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real Edexcel paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from Edexcel.
How is Social Influence: Conformity typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Psychology papers?
Social Influence: Conformity appears across multiple question types on real Edexcel GCSE Psychology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
