Abstract

This confirmatory study will examine gender differences in conformity using a modified Solomon Asch paradigm with 100 participants responding to an all-male or an all-female confederate group. Women are expected to conform more to men, with men conforming less to women. Findings will reveal critical gender determinants of conformity.
