Abstract

This systematic review offers a comprehensive overview of conformity research conducted since 2004. Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, the review identified 48 relevant articles from a substantial pool (literature review conducted between January and April 2023), systematically extracting valuable insights into key findings, methodologies, and future research directions. While recent studies confirm the prevalence of conformity across diverse contexts, echoing Asch's seminal findings (1951), the review emphasizes the need for a unified understanding of influencing factors, including age, gender, and culture, with contextual variables playing a central role. Advances in digital technology have expanded research possibilities, enabling investigations across diverse digital contexts. Researchers employ innovative methods such as computer-mediated communication (Cinnirella & Green 2007) and virtual reality (Kyrlitsias et al. 2020) to explore conformity within digital spaces that closely mirror real online interactions. Given the evolving landscape of conformity research, this review advocates for further interdisciplinary and intercultural investigations, comprehensive meta-analyses, and replications to deepen our understanding of this multifaceted phenomenon.

从众研究的系统回顾。

本系统综述提供了自2004年以来进行的从众研究的全面概述。根据PRISMA指南，该综述从大量文献中（2023年1月至4月进行的文献综述）确定了48篇相关文章，系统地提取了对关键发现、方法和未来研究方向的有价值的见解。虽然最近的研究证实了从从性在不同背景下的普遍存在，这与Asch的开创性发现（1951年）相呼应，但该综述强调了对影响因素（包括年龄、性别和文化）的统一理解的必要性，其中语境变量起着核心作用。数字技术的进步扩大了研究的可能性，使调查能够跨越不同的数字背景。研究人员采用创新的方法，如计算机媒介通信（Cinnirella & Green 2007）和虚拟现实（Kyrlitsias et al. 2020）来探索数字空间中的一致性，这些空间密切反映了真实的在线互动。鉴于从众研究的不断发展，本综述提倡进一步的跨学科和跨文化调查、全面的荟萃分析和重复研究，以加深我们对这一多方面现象的理解。

期刊介绍： The International Review of Social Psychology (IRSP) is supported by the Association pour la Diffusion de la Recherche Internationale en Psychologie Sociale (A.D.R.I.P.S.). The International Review of Social Psychology publishes empirical research and theoretical notes in all areas of social psychology. Articles are written preferably in English but can also be written in French. The journal was created to reflect research advances in a field where theoretical and fundamental questions inevitably convey social significance and implications. It emphasizes scientific quality of its publications in every area of social psychology. Any kind of research can be considered, as long as the results significantly enhance the understanding of a general social psychological phenomenon and the methodology is appropriate.
