Due to the overwhelming group pressure, the participant went along with giving the wrong answer so as to avoid deviating from the group norm. Results: about 1/3 of the time the average participant conformed to the group. At least of the participants conformed at least once, some conformed considerably more, some none. Benevolent: chivalrous attitude toward women that feels favorable but is actually sexist because it casts women as weak creatures in need of men"s protection. May seem harmless, noble, or romantic, but its effects can be devastating. Ideology that supports gender inequality: example: women need to be protected by men. Overtly negative evaluations and stereotypes towards women: example: women are incompetent and inferior to men.
