Moscovici and colleagues (Moscovici, Lage, & Naffrechoux, 1969) argued that if social influence just relied on conformity
to majority, however, social change and the development of new ideas could not be explained. They analyzed that minorities
could also influence groups under specific circumstances. Moscovici et al. (1969) used an experimental method in which
group of participants (as majority) were shown blue slides of different intensity and asked to report the colors. In one con-
dition the two confederates (as minority) said the slides were green on every slide. Those confederates could persuade the
majority to answer that the slides were green (instead of blue). Using this simple color perception task Moscovici et al.
(1969) have shown that a minority is able to influence and convince a majority. This minority influence comprises of four
components. First, consistency as the minority must be consistent in their opinion, second confidence in the views they
are presenting, third appearing to be unbiased and fourth resisting to social pressure. These experiments mark the founda-
tion of Moscovici’s conversion theory (1980). Until now, its assumptions of minority influence were replicated in the work-
ing context, also.
