Dr. Emile is trying to replicate Asch's study in a collectivist culture. He's not seeing the degree of conformity in the lab that Asch saw. Which of the following is the most likely reason why?
a. Collectivists are more likely to conform to a group that's important to them, rather than a group of strangers.
b. Collectivists are especially sensitive to the lab environment and are likely to use informational social influence in this research.
c. Collectivists are not likely to obey an outsider, so they are not doing what he's asking them to do in the lab.
d. Collectivists have a lot of responsibilities to their families and groups so aren't interested in his research.
