Neto (1995) and
Smith & Bond (1988)
- Does it support, challenge or develop Asch?
- Neto
- Developed as they
only used female
participants and it showed
that females tended to
conform more than males
- Smith and
Bond
- Developed as they tested
collectivist and
individualist societies and
found that people from
collectivist societies
tended to conform more
- Similarities
- They both
used the same
procedure as
Asch did
- Differences
- Neto
- The study was
more recent so it's
more applicable to
today's society
- Only used women
- Smith and Bond
- They ran the trials in
different societies
(collectivist and
individualist)
- They did
it in 17
countries
- Conclusion (therefore…)
- They show that conformity exists
in different societies, but it
occurs differently in each,
showing that Asch's study has
some reliability
- It shows that Asch's study has some external
validity as it can be generalised to different
groups and societies
