Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

  • A. The autokinetic effect → II. Conformity. Sherif used the autokinetic effect (a visual illusion where a stationary point of light appears to move in the dark) to study conformity. He found that people conformed to group norms when making judgments under uncertainty.

  • B. Milgram's experiment → III. Obedience. Stanley Milgram’s famous experiment studied obedience to authority, where participants followed orders even when it conflicted with their morals.

  • C. Sherif's experiment → I. Cooperation and competition conformity. Sherif’s Summer Camp Experiment demonstrated how intergroup conflict can arise from competition and how cooperation on superordinate goals can reduce that conflict. It is an example used to explain cooperation and competition

  • D. Latane → IV. Social loafing. Bibb Latané studied social loafing, where individuals exert less effort in a group setting compared to when working alone.
