  • Fiske (2014) criticised the realism of the task, stating the groups do not resemble those we experience in real life. This limits the real world applications.
  • Neto (1995) suggests that women may be more conformist as they are more concerned with social relationships and feelings of acceptance.
  • Bond & Smith (1996) highlight the differences between individualistic and collectivist cultures. Individualistic cultures like the USA are more concerned about themselves rather than the group. This might explain why conformity rates in collectivist cultures like China are higher.
