In other words, it&#8217;s when you do what everyone else is doing. Asch famously studied this in America in the 1950s. Since then, hundreds of studies have been published on conformity. Many of these studies ask questions about the different factors that might influence conformity: age, race, culture, clothing, IQ, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/2016\/10\/04\/key-study-conformity-asch-1955\/\">Key Study: Conformity &amp; Asch (1955)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/2016\/10\/04\/key-study-bond-and-smith-1996\/\">Key Study: Conformity rates across cultures (Bond and Smith, 1996)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/2017\/06\/20\/what-is-enculturation\/\">What is enculturation?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Berry&#8217;s (1967) study was one of the first to compare cultures and try to explain why some cultures have higher conformity rates than others. The study was based on Barry et al.&#8217;s (1959) study of the differences in parenting practices of high food accumulation cultures (e.g. farming and agriculture) and low food accumulation cultures (e.g. hunting and fishing). Barry concluded that hunting and fishing cultures (e.g. Eskimo&#8217;s) are more individualistic and independent, whereas farming and pastoral cultures (e.g. Temne who relied mainly on rice) are more compliant and conservative. Berry (not Barry, it&#8217;s confusing I know) went further and asked the question if these different parenting and socialization strategies affect actual behaviour. He chose conformity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12626\" style=\"width: 772px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/668px-Baffin_Island.svg_.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12626\" class=\"wp-image-12626 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/668px-Baffin_Island.svg_.png?resize=762%2C322&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"762\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/668px-Baffin_Island.svg_.png?w=762&amp;ssl=1 762w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/668px-Baffin_Island.svg_.png?resize=300%2C127&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/668px-Baffin_Island.svg_.png?resize=100%2C42&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">These two cultures were chosen because of their distinct differences in cultural values and enculturation practices.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Independence and Conformity in Subsistence Level Societies (Berry, 1967)<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_12624\" style=\"width: 289px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.37.35.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12624\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12624\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.37.35.png?resize=279%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"279\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.37.35.png?resize=279%2C300&amp;ssl=1 279w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.37.35.png?resize=100%2C107&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.37.35.png?w=335&amp;ssl=1 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12624\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Participants were given the above sheet and told: &#8220;Here is a sheet with nine lines on it.

So these two cultures were chosen because &#8220;&#8230;the Temne and Eskimo peoples &#8230; represent high and low food-accumulating subsistence societies who also possess contrasting systems of socialization practices which are in keeping with the Barry et al.

This time I am going to give you a hint. Most Temne (or Eskimo, or Scottish, <em>depending on the group being tested<\/em>) people say this line [experimenter pointed to number 6] is equal in length to the one at the top. Which one do you say? (<em>Italics added). <\/em>The researcher <em>did not\u00a0<\/em>give the correct answer, but instead gave a wrong one).<\/li>\n<li>Conformity was the measured by the distance between the participant&#8217;s answer and the correct one (further distance = higher conformity).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_12625\" style=\"width: 263px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.43.51.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12625\" class=\"wp-image-12625 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.43.51.png?resize=253%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.43.51.png?resize=253%2C300&amp;ssl=1 253w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.43.51.png?resize=100%2C119&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-29-at-6.43.51.png?w=382&amp;ssl=1 382w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12625\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Temne people (Mayolo\/Pt Loko) showed higher levels of conformity compared with Eskimo (Pond Inlet\/Frobisher) and Scots (Inverkeilor\/Edinburgh).

In economies where initiative and independence are values (e.g. hunting, fishing, low food accumulation), then kids will be raised to be individualistic and independent so they can be successful. In communities that have economic systems that rely on co-operation (e.g. rice growing), values associated with compliance, conformity and collectivism will be encouraged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>This study can be applied in the IB Psychology course to enculturation, cultural norms, cultural origins and influences of behaviour.
