Asch's line studies have consistently shown that people are more likely to conform to groups to which they belong. This is because individuals are often motivated to maintain positive relationships with those in their social groups and to avoid criticism or rejection. The influence of strangers, feelings of inferiority, or gender composition of the group may also play a role in conformity, but research has shown that belonging to the group is the most significant factor.
