Abstract

To examine whether SES is associated with behavioral conformity in preschoolers, the current study used an Asch-like paradigm with 226 preschoolers from socioeconomically diverse preschools. Children from lower-SES preschools had higher levels of conformity in the visual domain than children from higher-SES schools,but not in moral and social-conventional domains.
