The Asch Conformity Effect: A Study in Kuwait.

Amir, Taha

Social Behavior and Personality, v12 n2 p187-90 1984

Investigated whether conformity in the experimental setting suggested by Asch was related to American culture and less likely to be replicable elsewhere. Kuwaiti subjects (N=200) were used in replicating the original experiment. Obtained an 'Asch effect' of a comparable magnitude to that of Asch. Individual differences in conformity were evident.
