A Systematic Review of Research on Conformity
Capuano and Chekroun give an overview of conformity research since two thousand and four, following the PRISMA guidelines and drawing on a literature review carried out in early two thousand and twenty-three. Recent studies confirm that conformity is common across many contexts, echoing Asch's early findings. The review calls for a unified understanding of influencing factors, including age, gender and culture, with contextual variables playing a central role. Digital technology has widened research possibilities, and researchers use methods such as computer-mediated communication.
