Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asch's experiment found that people in collectivistic cultures (such as those in Asia) were more likely to conform to the group judgment than those in individualistic cultures (such as those in Western countries). Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as there is no evidence in Asch's experiment to support them.
