 abstract = {This paper reviews theory and research on the relationship between group size and                conformity and presents a meta-analysis of 125 Asch-type conformity studies. It                questions the assumption of a single function made in formal models of social                influence and proposes instead that the function will vary depending on which social                influence process predominates. It is argued that normative influence is likely to                be stronger when participants make public responses and are face-to-face with the                majority, whereas informational influence is likely to be stronger when participants                make private responses and communicate with the majority indirectly. The                meta-analysis finds that the relationship differs according to whether public or                private responses are obtained and whether an Asch or Crutchfield paradigm is                employed. Future research needs to identify how the relationship varies depending on                different social influence processes elicited by features of the task and setting.},
