Research has found support for asch's findings in countries including hong kong, japan, and zimbabwe. in fact, in these locations the conformity effect was even higher than asch reported. what might explain this increase in conformity?

These three countries have for the most part collectivist societies and culture.

Conformity is a sort of social impact including an adjustment in conviction or conduct keeping in mind the end goal to fit in with a gathering. This change is because of genuine (including the physical nearness of others) or envisioned (including the weight of social standards/desires) group pressure.
