Minority Influence: Effects of Size, Conversion, and Sex.
Arbuthnot, Jack; Wayner, Marc
Journal of Psychology, v111 n2 p285-95 Jul 1982
Results indicated that, with regard to opinions, a minority of one was less effective than either a minority of two or a minority of one who gained a convert. Evaluations of minorities differed as a function of both size and sex of minority group members. (Subjects were 200 males and females enrolled in an introductory psychology course.) (Author/MP)
