Does Peer Pressure stifle the acceptance of the obvious?

MikeWhat is the point of that link?I chose line 1 and clicked the button. It said "please try again. Most students choose number 3"
Why would they do that since line one is clearly correct. I even measured the thing with a ruler. If that study is supposed to make me follow the crowd then either..1. it is a stupid study.
2. I tend to always do exactly what i believe is right and to hell with the crowd.I actually suspect that both options are correct.

Are there actually Atheist groups?Can't say I have ever heard of one. Atheists in my experience don't tend to need the support of any kind of group.Then again I haven't really gone looking for other like minded individuals. Mainly because I have no interest in such a group and would certainly reject it if I did find one.
Membership of a group like this would actually go directly against what my personal utter lack of faith is based on.

I clicked it half a dozen times.
Admittedly i used the forward and back buttons between clicks so that could have messed up any feedback.I'm afraid i have no patience with the kind of stuff that tries to pidgeon hole me or baffle me with psycho-babble.I just catagorize it as pointless drivel and move on.Perhaps i will go back and play a bit more now that I know there is more to see.

But how do you get peer pressure from demographics?

I guess this is possible. To be honest though, I have never met another openly Atheistic person in my entire life before coming to this board. I was beginning to think that I was the only one.... anywhere. I agree with you on this point. People are people. There is no fundamental difference in the character of of atheists or any other demographic group. Groups in general tend to adopt a group mentality. That is why I avoid them.

Thanks for the explanation Mike but please don't get the idea that I don't understand what peer pressure is all about simply because I dissed your link. I just dislike phsychology intensely and tend to think the whole field is a little ridiculous.Physchologist: Shows PY an ink blot and says "What does this remind you of?"
PY: "An ink blott! DUH! You should be more careful with your ink!"

Nice site. Didn't know it was there.

Phsychology as a concept? That is rather a wide group of fields. No doubt some have their uses. I happen to think Freudian phsychology is laghable though,yes peer pressure is phychological. No argument there.I went back and tried your link again. It was kind of interesting but somewhat misleading in that it all but said that I was wrong and should try again. It didn't even cross my mind that it was possible to make the same choice a second time.
IMO this wasn't an issue of peer pressure. I could care less what most people choose. I was simply under the impression that I was not able to pick the same choice again and was physically being forced to choose a different one. Since I was 100% sure I was right, I chose to say to hell with it and left the site. That was why it pissed me off.

I thought the two were very closely related.Shows what i know then.
