Procedure - lab experiment, repeated measures design, 123 male volunteers. Results- the control group had an error rate of only 0.04% (3 mistakes out of 720 trails, while on the twelve critical trails there was a 32% conformity rate to wrong answers. 75% of ptps conformed to at least one wrong answer (meaning 25% never conformed) 5% of ptp conformed to all 12 wrong answers.

The researchers performed a meta-analysis of 134 published replications of the Asch conformity effect, conducted within 17 different nations. Subsequently a similar meta-analysis was conducted on the 97 replications conducted within the USA. The within the USA studies slowed a district negative correlation between time of study and level of conformity , with a steady decline in conformity rates from the line of Asch in the 1950's. As predicted, independent cultures tended to slow lower rates of conformity than collectivist ones. A positive correlations was found between conformity rates and the size.
