INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Social psychologists are required to explain the over-whelming fact of social conformity in human behavior.Parents set models to which children conform; fashionsare models to which adults conform; and culture itselfis a model to which everyone (or nearly everyone con-forms.No problem in social psychology is more in-sistent (Allport, 1954, p. 21).
The problem of conformity which in its broadest sense is theproblem of social influence, is of central concern in contemporary
society.A larlse popular and professional literature attests to this.We live in an era where "brainwashing" is a household word (Sargent,1957; Meerloo, 1956); we speak of the "organization man" (Whyte, 1956);acknowledge the "hidden persuaders" (Packard, 1957); and we are allconcerned with the stifling of creativity (Farber & Wilson, 1961).The implications of understanding the nature of conformity are so farreaching that no aspect cf human social behavior is excluded. It wouldbe impossible to conceive a world without social influence because thatworld would necessarily be a world without people.Both psychological research and more general treatments describeindividuals who find themselves unable to pursue independent acts andwho are discovered always to be in positions of compromise. Theseindividuals, characterized by their susceptibility to social influence,have been designated as conformists; their opposites are labeled non-
conformists.Most of us fall somewhere on the dimension defined by
these two poles.
2
The problem under investigation in the present study was theidentification of the personality dimenJions associated with resistanceand capitulation to social pressure. More specifically, the hypothesisunder examination was the proposition that personality factors repre-sent reliable parameters of the conformity response. That is to saythat individual differences in response to social influence will befound to covary with individual differences in personality. Whilethere have been studies of this issue (Asch, 1951; Barron, 1953;Crutchfield, 1955; Tuddenham, 1956; DiVesta and Cox, 1960), the resultshave been equivocal and incon:lusive (Bernardin and Jessor, 1957;Endler, 1961; Hcllander, 1960; Appley and Moeller, 1963). The presentstudy was conceived as a basic one devoted to the identification andvalidation of personality factors present in the conformity situation.A large and complex vocabulary has emerged as a consequence of
the vast literature. Cronbach (1946) spoke of "acquiescence"; Asch(1951, 1952) spoke of "yielding", Crutchfield (1955) of "conformity",Deutsch and Girard (1955) of "compliance and conformity", Janis et al.(1959) "persuasibility", and Barber (1961, 1962, 1963) of hypno-tizability and suggestibility."All these terms are names for situations in which individualdifferences in response to social influence have been examined.Campbell (1961) suggested the following as a general framework withinwhich conformity could be considered:
it will be assumed that a situation of conflictexists between an individual dispositional source …and a social one Giving heavy weight to thesocial source will be regarded as synonomous withconformity, suggestibility, persuasibility, or
3
yielding, as these terms have been used in theliterature.It follows…that any strengtheningof an individual dispositional source will lead todecreased conformity, whereas, strengthening of asccial source will lead to increased conformity(p. 114, 1961).
The conflict situation employed in the present stu4y was thefamiliar one of placing an individual in a situation where a simulatedgroup consensus was at odds with his perceptions. Extent of conformitywas measured by examining the degree to which an individual moves inthe direction of the simulated norm.
Review of Related Studies
In the 1959 Annual Review of Psychology, Blake and Mouton stated:
With situational aspects of conformity dynamicsreasonably well understood, questions regarding contri-butions of personality are exciting more attention.Two kinds of issues are being raised. One has to dowith describing the personality structure of the personwho capitulates under social pressure.The other dealswith the degree of consistency of capitulation acrosstasks, over a range of conditions, and through time(p. 224, 1959) ,
These two issues cannot, of course, be genuinely dicho'zomized.One could not speak of the personality structure of the conformist un-less the conformity response did reveal some consistency in time aswell as across situations.
Consistencof the conformit res onseA review of studies concerned with the stability of the con-formity response through time, over a range of conditions and acrosstasks, follows.
4
Sherii (1935) clearly demonstrated that when individuals in anambiguous setting, the autokinetic (AK) situation, are required tomake judgments, they will develop their own point of reference ornorm.Onisubsequent occasions, they behave in a manner consistentwith that norm. Most relevant here is his report that individuals con-form to a group norm when examined at a later time under individualconditions.This latter finding is in agreement with the observationsof Bovard (1948) and Walter (1955) again using the AK situation.Bovard (1948) examined the effects of group norms on individual judg-ments 28 days after the group interaction and was able to report thesustained influence of the initial condition. Walter (1955) reportedthat the performance of subjects on four discrete occasions reflectedpersistent use of norms established on the first occasion.Asch (1951) focused on the conditions which caused an individualto capitulate or to resist group pressures. With the use of ac-complices, subjects were placed in a situation where group consensuswas contrary to veridicality. The subsequent conflict, and resolutionof this conflict was the critical response. Of the 50 subjects in theexperimental group, Asch reported:
One fourth of the critical subjects was completely in-dependent; at the other extreme, one third of thegroup displaced the estimates toward the majority inone-half or more of the trials (p. 182).
That is, some independent subjects were able to hold out con-sistently in successive critical trials, just as some yielding subjectscapitulated consistently.
Crutchfield (1955), pursuing the Asch paradigm, introduced someingenious modifications. Instead of employing accomplices for the
5
intentional distortion of norms, electrical consoles were employedwhereby the experimenter was able to simulate responses of the subjects.While Asch (1951) employed only visual items, that is, line judgments,Crutchfield's items ranged from "… factual to attitudinal, fromstructured to ambiguous, from impersonal to personal" (p. 193, 1955).For this group of 21 items, a corrected split-half reliability estimateof .90 was reported. These findings offer evidence of conformityoccuring across tasks. That is tc say, conformity, at least in someresearch, appears to be independent of content of tasks.Tuddenham (1956) with apparatus similar to Crutchfield (1955) aswell as similar domains of item content reported a range of odd-evencorrelations of .82 to .95 for total test reliability of 30 items. The30 item scale is composed of three ten-item subscales. The subscalesincluded visual items (i.e., size and area judgments), informationitems and opinion items. Tuddenham (1956) reported corrected inter-correlations of .52 to .94 for these subscales. Odd-even reliabilitiesin each of the three subscales ranged from .68 to .90. Tuddenhamconcluded:
Comparison of findings with visual, information andopinion items indicates that yielding was a rathergeneral propensity, though some variance was specificto the particular judgment concerned (1958, p. 240).
Therefore, Tuddenham's (1958) observations are in agreement withCrutchfield's (1955) suggesting that conformity behavior transcendssituations.Blake, Helson and Mouton (1956), using still another techniquefor the transmission of simulated information, reported an average
6
correlation of .87 for the three activities of counting metronomeclicks, response to opinions, and mental arithmetic. Here, the experi-menters had the subject listen to tape-recorded responses of ac-complices, thereby causing the subject to believe others were presentand responding in different cubicles. Here again, agreement is ob-served with the findings of Crutchfield (1955) and Tuddenham (1958).Rosner (1957), employing three different taks, viz., the Aschline series, a memory task, and a questionnaire, reported consistencyof response for yielders and non-yielders across experimental sessionsas well as within experimental series. Phi-coefficients ranging from.33 to .54 were reported between pairs of tasks.Thus, in light of these results, Blake and Mouton (1959) con-cluded that:
No exceptions to the rule have been indicated. Therule that seems to be emerging is 'once a conformer,always a conformer'… (p. 225, 1959).
Similarly, Krech, Crutchfield and Ballachey (1962) reported con-forming tendencies to be an "interpersonal response trait." This isnot to say that there are no dissenters. There are researchers whosuggest that the conformity response is specific to the situation.For example, Appley and Moeller (1963) assert:
… Conformity per se is an act in the service of theindividual's motivations – a means to an end ratherthan an end in itself… (p. 290).
Furthermore, instances are reported in the literature where re-searchers have failed to sustain expected relationships between twomeasures of susceptibility to social influence. Notably, this has been
7
true in situations where paper and pencil measures of acquiescencewere related to laboratory performance. Foster (1955) and Endler(1961) were unable to demonstrate a relationship between acquiescentresponse set, the tendency to agree with a printed statement, and per-formance in a Crutchfield (1955) situation. Linton (1955) encounteredfailure in attempting to relate conformity in an AK situation andsusceptibility to attitude change as a function of social influence.In summary, the view expressed by Allport (1961) most accuratelyreflects the literature and is the position taken here:
We must likewise not forget that although conformityseems to be a measurable common trait, we must expectsituational factors, personal knowledge, and privatemotives to affect an individual's response in thisarea of social behavior (p. 433).
Personality structure in conformitySince the present study is concerned with personality dimensionsand yielding, review of studies relating personality and conformity
follows.The literature is not unequivocal.Asch (1951) characterized his subjects on the basis of inter-view data collected upon the completion of the experimental series.He was able to discriminate six types of subjects, three of them"independents" and three of them "yielders." One group of inde-pendents were those who through a high degree of "confidence" wereable to actively resist group pressure. A second group were "with-drawn."These individuals resisted, but iii a non-emotional way.Thefinal group of independents experienced "doubt", but having a high needto perform accurately, resisted the influence of the group.
8
The yielders, for the most part, thought their perceptions to beincorrect and those of the group to be accurate. Asch said of thisgroup:
These subjects suffer from primary doubt and lack ofconfidence; on this basis they feel a strong tendencyto jo4n the marjority (p. 184, 1951).
A second group, cognizant of their capitulation, did so in ordernot to appear deviant or inferior. The third and smallest group, Aschfelt, truly distorted. These individuals reported the false groupconsensus as the veridical alternative and experienced it as such.Asch (1951) concluded:
There were wide, and indeed, striking differencesamong individuals within the same experimentalsituation.The hypothesis was proposed that theseare functionally dependent on relatively enduringcharacter differences… (p. 190).
Thus, Asch was convinced not only of the consistency of the re-sponse, but also that it represented personality differences. Thereader will note, however, that his conclusion is drawn from relativelyuncontrolled interview material.Barron (1953) employed the Asch situation to define criteriongroups of yielders and non-yielders. An item analysis of the Goughadjective Check List (ACL), composed of 274 adjectives listed inalphabetical order, between adjective preference and yielding, reveal-ed 14 adjectives associated with non-yielding and 19 associated withyielding.On the basis of this performance on the ACL Barron
suggested that:
9
The self-descriptions of the independents seem to in-volve these factors: (1) a certain cathection ofintellect and cognitive originality… a spirit ofopen-mindedness (2) a high degree of personal in-volvement and emotional reactivity (3) a lack ofsocial ease, or an absence of the commonly valuedsocial virtues The yielders … strongly cathect(1) ease and helpfulness in interpersonal relations(2) personal effectiveness and planfulness in achievingsome goal(3) personal stability and healthymindedness (p. 290, 1953).
Encouraged by his work Barron prepared an 84 personality-type
item inventory and administered it to criterion groups. Twenty-two
items withstood item analysis, 20 of which were in the expected
direction; these items have become known as the Barron Independence of
Judgment Scale (IJS). As a function of performance on the IJS, Barron
was able to depict the non-yielders as individuals who value:
Creative work, in others and in themselves … theperson as an individual, and responds more to theinward integrity of another person than tosuperficially pleasing characteristics are in-dependent… areintraceptive like some un-certainty (pp. 295, 296, 1953).
Although neither the adjectives in the ACL nor the IJS werecross-validated by Barron, some successful use of them has been re-
ported by other researchers.Jacklon (1958) combin.x the Barron IJS items with the Crutchfield
conformity items (CCI), to be discussed below, and employed them as a
conformity inventory. Corrected split-half reliabilities of .44 for
women and .54 for .len are reported.Marlowe and Crowne (1961) re-
ported a correlation of -.54 between the IJS and a social desirability
inventory (SDI) of their own construction.
10
Strickland and Crowne (1962) administered the IJS and SDI, andutilized a conformity situation similar to that described by Blake,et al. (1956). They reported significant relationships in the ex-pected directions between social desirability and independencemeasured by the IJS, social desirability and conformity, andindependence and conformity.The studies cited above can be viewed as construct validationwork for Barron's IJS and generally would encourage the use of the
scale.Crutchfield (1955), related a wide range of variables to con-
formity.For example, intellectual functioning assessed by "staffrating of intellectual competence," and Terman Concept Mastery Testyielded correlations of -.63 and -.51 respectively. Barron's Ego-strength Scale correlated -.33. The California Personality Inventory(CPI) subscales of Tolerance, Social Pressure and Responsibilityyielded a range of correlations of -.30 to -.41. The CaliforniaFascism Scale (F-scale) correlated .39. Manifest authoritarianismrated by Crutchfield and his staff was correlated .35.Q-sort descriptions of the subjects by the Crutchfield staffyielded characterizations not unlike those of Barron (1953) for a non-yielder who:Is an effective personTakes an ascendant role in his relationsIs persuasiveIs turned to for adviceIs efficient, capableIs activeIs an expressive, ebullient person (p. 194).
11
The yielder, as characterized by the Q-sorts, is different from
Barron's yielder. He:has a narrow range.of interests …overcontrols his impulses; is inhibited …is unable to make decisions without vacillation …becomes confused, disorganized …under stressis suggestible …" (p. 195).
These obvious neurotic qualities, however, are not sustainedperformance on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI).This result is consistent with Barron (1953) who also was unable todiscriminate yielders from non-yielders on MMPI performance.Crutchfield reported 25 personality-type items (CCI) which aresusceptible of discriminating yielders from non-yielders. Jackson(1958; 1962) and Sechrest and Jackson (1960) combined the IJS and CCIand were able to employ this "conformity inventory" in a meaningful
manner,Crutchfield (1955) further reports on two additional studies
that:Using the same procedures and the same items forjudgment, the conformity results for his …samplewere highly similar to those reported … (p. 196).
Elsewhere, Krech, et al. (1962) concluded on the basis of theCrutchfield results:
Study of the correlations of these measures with theconformity scores offer compelling evidence thatthere are numerous personality factors associatedwith tendency to conform (p. ,1962).
Tuddenham (1956; 1957 a; 1957 b; 1958 a-f; 1961) systematicallyinvestigated the relationships between a host of variables and their
12
relationships to yielding. Employing a situation similar to thatdeveloped by Crutchfield (1955), Tuddenham (1958) reported a wide rangeof personality data for four groups of subjects in the laboratory con-formity situation. Two groups, 'sne composed of 27 males and anothercomposed of 29 females, averaged 35 years of age. These groups repre-sented a good deal of variability in education and socio-economic
level.The remaining two groups were constituted of college males(N = 37) and females (N = 37).Thirty items derived from an interview rasing schedule yielded
the following results. Intelligence, introspection, and verbalfacility were significantly related to independence for both men and
women.Utilization of generalization in thought, educational level,and socio-economic level were found to be inversely related to yielding
for men.These latter relationships were not sustained with women.Generally, these results appear consistent with Crutchfield (1955).That is, "intelligence" is associated positively with independence.Tuddenham also studied the CPI performance of his subjects.Only a few of the 18 scales of the CPI were readily interpretable.Achievement via independence is inversely related to conformity forboth male groups as well as the younger female group. Capacity forsocial status is seemingly moderated by age as it is negatively re-lated for both older groups, but not the college samples. The re-maining correlations were generally not susceptible of interpretation.These results failed to replicate Crutchfield's findings.The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS), not administer-ed to the college samples, failed to yield significant relationships
for the older age groups.
13
A group of scales derived from the MMPI (Taylor Manifest AnxietyScale; Welsh Anxiety Scale; Barron Ego-strength Scale; Welsh RepressionScale) all failed to discriminate yielders from non-yielders.However, the IJS was able to discriminate male but not femaleindependents from yielders. This is consistent with Barron's findingsin that Barron's sample was all males.On the basis of the performance of his subjects on the IJS andthe interview rating schedule, Tuddenham (1958) concluded:
Reports by Barron and Crutchfield on correlates ofyielding are in rather good general agreement withthese findings (p. 15).
DiVesta and Cox (1960) in a broad exploratory study, utilized agroup of paper and pencil measures of personality and intellectualfunctioning, and the Crutchfield conformity situation. The EPPSfailed to yield any meaningful relationships. Only a single scale,n Autonomy (n Au t) achieved significance, and this was thought to bechance.The Stern Activities Index (SAl) was somewhat more encouraging.Scale measures of submissive-restrained, outgoing-sociable, cautious-controlled, and theoretical-intellectual related to the criterion 23;-21; 22; and .24 respectively.Use of the ACL revealed fair agreement with Barron (1953) despitesome failures as reversals of adjectives characterizing non-yielderswere observed.DiVesta and Cox (1960) also reported that the F scale was re-lated to conformity which is again, in agreement with Crutchfield(1955) and Nadler (1959). However, Belof (1958) and Gorfein (1961)were unable to support this relationship
14
The Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale approached significance in theDiVesta and Cox study (1960) which is consistent with Tuddenham (1958).Their observation that women generally conform more than men alsosustains Crutchfield (1955) and Tuddenham (1956).The authors concluded that:
The data indicate the presence of consistent sourcesand dispositional characteristics which contributeto individual differences in susceptibility tosocial influences (1960, p. 262).
There are instances, however, where the personality-conformityhypothesis has not been sustained. It is also reasonable to believethat there are in the experience of many researchers failures to con-firm the hypothesis which go unreported.A group of studies attempting to investigate the relationshipbetween specific needs as assessed by the EPPS and the conformity re-sponse has left much to be desired.Bernardin and Jessor (1957) hypothesized that high need Autonomy(n Aut) and low need Deference (n Def) leads to more resistance tosocial influence and generally less dependence, than the opposite needrelationship.Using three different behavioral measures (approval;seeking help; Asch situation), they were unable to demonstrate reliablerelationships.Gisvold (1958) pursued these hypothesized relationships further.Employing a modified Crutchfield situation as the yielding criterion,he reports a significant correlation (-54) between n Aut and yielding.However, the expected relationships between n Def and yielding was notdemonstrated.
15
Izard (1960) reports a Significant correlation for men betweenn Aut and resistance to yielding (38) but an .05 correlation forwomen.Correlations for men and women between resistance to socialinfluence and n Def are -.24 and -.34. They were not significant.Endler (1961), using the Crutchfield laboratory paradigm con-cluded that there are reliable individual differences in conformity,but was unable to relate these to differences in personality structureas assessed by the EPPS.Appley and Moeller (1961) assessed the relationship between per-sonality and conformity using the Asch situation and the EPPS, CPI,and Gordon Personal Profile (GPP). Of all these possible measures,38 scales in all, one, n Abasement, was related to behavior in theAsch Situation. The authors argue that the relationship between per-sonality and conformity is complex and that:
Unless particular cues were present to elicit certaintypes of response modulities (e.g., defferencebehavior; succorant behavior; etc.) we would not ex-pect to find such behavior necessarily in therepertoire of an individual who in another situationconforms to the norm o the group response (p. 290).
Tuddenham (1958; 1960) comments that the relationship betweenresponse to social influence and personality for women is notdetermined to the same extent as for men.However, Appley and Moellerdiscard a feminine role explanation in preference for a more situationspecific model of explanation.
Hollander (1960) arrived at a similar position to that of Appleyand Moeller and suggested: "conformity does not appear to be a verymeaningful variable of personality" (p. 224).
16
Thus, it is clear that the relationship between personality and
yielding to social influence, although the subject of a large liter-
ature, is not clearly delineated. With the possible exceptions of the
relationships between intellectual functioning and sexual role and
conformity, all other relationships must be qualified. Many of the
standard personality inventories have proved fruitless in the in-
vestigation of personality functioning and response to social in-
fluence.The EPPS has failed, time after time, to be related to con-
formity in the laboratory. The MMPI, and derivative scales, generallyused as a clinical instrument, encounters the same fate as does the
EPPS.The CPI, although somewhat more promising than the inventories
cited above, is deficient also. Some encouragement, however, is to
be found in the use of the ACL, IJS, and the CCI.Generally, the methods of conformity assessment have been demon-
strated to be reliable. It would seem, however, that more reliable
modes of personality assessment are required. The literature reveals
little cross-validaticnal study of personality items. Furthermore,
with the exceptions of the IJS and the CCS, none of the personality
inventories employed in the conformity-personality literature em-
ployed item selection against a criterion of conformity.
Statement of the Problem
The present study is 5.n the context of efforts to define the re-lationship between personality factors and conformity behavior. The
literature which has now been reviewed has failed to provide clear
17
evidence for the hypothesis that personality factors account for someportion of the variance in yielding behavior. This is the hypothesis
under test here.The equiNacality, the inconclusiveness and the occasional andisolated positive result represented a need for a basic study devotedto identification and validation of personality factors present in
yielding behavior.It was anticipated that the ordinary psychometric procedures ofpersonality item selection and cross-validation would yield a pool ofitems which when examined by the procedure of factor analysis woulduncover the personality dimensions operating in conformity behavior.

METHODS AND PROCEDURES
The present study was directed toward the investigation of therelationship between personality and conformity. The method ofempirical item selection and cross-validation was adopted, therebyrequiring the participation of a large number of subjects and theadministration of a large number of personality items.In addition,the procedure required a well-defined conformity criterion which wouldyield a reliable conformity score.
General DesignA large pool of personality item-statements in true-false formatwas administered to 243 subjects, The subjects were assigned to threegroups of 97, 96, and 50 each.Bi-serial correlations were computed in the first sample ofsubjects for each item against a yielding score derived from per-formance in a laboratory conformity situation.The second sample wasexamined in a manner consistent with conventional cross-validationalprocedures.The third sample (N = 50) was to be used as an additionalvalidational group. Factor analytic treatment of the cross-validateditems was intended so that the dimensions of personality inherent inthe items might be identified. Examination of the relationship betweenderived factor scores and the laboratory conformity scores was to havecompleted the study.
19
SubjectsThree hundred and seventeen male undergraduates were recruitedin such a manner that they had no awareness of the relationship betweenthe two assessment situations, that of personality and that of yielding.The subjects were recruited by accomplices of the experimenter fromamong students in introductory psychology at The Pennsylvania StateUniversity who are required to participate in six hours of psychologi-cal research.These students were told they were participating in a"study about personality."The experimenter then recruited a group of 243 subjects fromthis initial subject pool. They were asked to join him in anotherstudy of the "differences in ability to make judgments about theattributes of geometric figures." In other words, subjects were ledto believe that they were being recruited for a second and unrelatedstudy by still another experimenter. In order to assur- minimal lossof subjects from the initial subject pool, one dollar, and one hour'scredit were offered for participation in the half-hour yielding
situation.Of the 74 subjects who failed to participate or whose responseswere not employed in the final analysis of data, 27 failed to appearat the appointed time, two completed the personality inventory in-correctly, and three were lost because of apparatus failure. Theremaining subjects apparently had completed their six hour researchparticipation requirement and could not be interested in devoting moretime to research activities.The 243 subjects who completed both portions of the study wereassigned to three groups of 97, 96, and 50. The group of 50 was
20
selected on a random basis from the total subject population (N= 243).The remaining 193 subjects were then ranked on the basis of theircriterion scores and then assigned to the other groups in an ABBAmanner.Thus, the distribution of yielding scores for both groupswas similar.
Personality MeasuresAn inventory labeled "Personality Research Inventory, Form I"(PRI) was administered to all subjects. The inventory, composed of527 items in Yes – No format, required approximately one and one halfhours for completion (See Appendix A).The items were drawn from several sources.The CaliforniaPersonality Inventory (CPI) represented the largest source, 480 items,25 of which constitute the Crutchfield Conformity Items (CCI).Thisinventory, although it has encountered only moesrate success in thepersonality-conformity literature, has been successful in use withnormal college students.The Independence of Judgment Scale was also included. Thisparticular group of 22 items together with the CCI, has proven to beamong the most promising in the discrimination of yielders from non-yielders.The final set of items were derived from the Allport and Allport"A-S Reaction Study." This group of items were rewritten in a Yes – Noformat.These items were chosen with the expectancy that endorsementof an item in the ascendent direction would be associated with re-sistance to social influence.

The Yielding SituationThe laboratory apparatus for assigning criterion conformityscores to individuals represents a modification of the Crutchfield(1955) and Tuddenham equipment (1956). The apparatus is fully de-
scribed in Appendix B.Subjects participated in small groups, five in number. Inasmuchas the apparatus required the presence of five subjects, accompliceswere employed to complement the groups in the event thar .*re wereless than five subjects on a given occasion. The time ,.c1111.,..?.d for34 trials and a preliminary brief orientation period was approximately
25 minutes.A schematic representation of the laboratory seating appearsbelow in Figure 1. All subject consoles were clamped in a fixed
position.The room was in darkness except for the consoles, projector,and an experimenter's desk lamp required for the recording of responses.The reader will note that the positions of subjects varied frcmfive to eleven feet in distance from the screen. A question aroseabout the influence of chair position on the yielding response. Ananalysis of variance was carried out on samples of 15 persons in eachof five groups representing the five chair positions. These subjectswere drawn randomly from a total of N laboratory occasions where noaccomplices were employed and all chair positions were filled with"real" subjects. The analysis is reported in Table 1. It showsessentially that chair position does not influence yielding behavior.Upon entering the laboratory, subjects were involved in two
preliminary tasks. The purposes of these tasks were to maintain the

deception that the study was devoted to individual differences invisual skills. Furthermore, they also served to reassure the subjectthat his visual abilities were adequate for the subsequent performancerequired of him. The first task required S to respond to a Snelleneye-chart which was placed 18 fent from him. The subject read withboth eyes, and with eye glasses if he customarily wore them, a linewhich required 20/25 vision at 20 feet. The second task consisted ofthe requirement that the subject count the number of lines in astimulus figure. It is of interest to note here that Tuddenham (1956)reports that yielding is unrelated to visual acuity.Each subject was then seated before a small console 19x19x9 1/2inches (See Figure 2). The consoles were constructed in such a waythat a subject was unable to view the display panel of any other sub-
ject.The panel was composed of ten columns of lights. The firstcolumn of five lights under the control of E, indicated to the subjecthis turn to respond. On non-critical trials, order of response wasvaried.On critical trials, all subjects responded in the fifthposition, having been led to believe that the experimenter's simulatedresponses were those of the other subjects. Subjects were instructedthat they would have an opportunity to respond from all positions.The nine remaining columns represented judgments as they were made byother subjects who preceded and followed.The experimenter's console 25x25x12 1/2 inches (See Figure 3)was composed of a set of lights which represent each subject's re-sponse position, five rotary switches for the assignment of a subject'sresponse position, a switch utilized on critical trials which prevents

the communication of a subject's responses to other subjects, and aset of 36 switches employed in the communication of simulatedjudgments in critical trials.The laboratory sequence consisted of the following steps. Sub-jects were seated before a console and given a short orientationdescribing their task requirements. Next, heaGphones were placed inposition and the following detailed instructions were communicatedto the subject via the headphones:
Let me describe what your job will be here this evening. Youwill see projected on this screen a series of slides on whichthere are drawings like this (Project Sample). The question is:"Which of the numbered diamonds is the same size as the un-numbered one?" You will notice that there are nine diamondsto choose from. Now look at the panel in front of you. Acrossthe bottom of the panel, you see nine switches labeled 1 through9.You will use these switches to i..!icate your answers. WhenI call on you, you will indicate your answer by turning on theswitch numbered the same as the 2iamond you choose. Be asaccurate as you can in making your choices, trying each timeto give the correct answer.You must answer in turn to avoid any possible confusion in myrecording.It is extremely important to await your turn be-fore switching on your answer. The light on the left of yourpanel tells you which is your turn. Sometimes you will answerfirst, sometimes second and so on. The other lights which arecontrolled by the switches, serve as signals to tell you whenit is time to take your turn. For example, if the 4th lightin the extreme left column of lights is on, you are fourthin turn and you are to wait until lights in rows 1, 2, and 3,come on b.r.fore you push your switch.Now lets try it –
Mr. A.- Your light should be on in row one – so you arefirst to answer. Choose the diamond that is the samesize as the unnumbered one – now find the switchwith the corresponding number and push it up. Fine –Now all your panels should show us Mr. A's response.
Mr. B.- Your light should be on in row two – so you aresecond to answer – make your choice – and push thecorresponding switch.
28
Mr. CMr. DMr. EAll of you should still have a switch in the on position. Pleasereturn them to an off position. Please move them gently andcarefully.Please don't let them snap off. This is importantfor proper recording and will increase the life of the equipment.On real trials a ready signal, a tone, will precede the slideby several seconds and will run through the whole period duringwhich the slide is exposed.Ok – Let's just review this. Your job is this –-
1.Look at the left hand column and see what row your lightis in.That tells you when it's your turn to answer.
2.Then wait until it is your turn – you will know when it isyour turn by watching the other person's answers indicatedon your panel.
3.Push the switch that corresponds to your choice on thescreen.That's it simply – Let's have one more sample – I think thatin most cases you will be able to make your judgments easily –Please remember to work the switches gently.
The complete laboratory instruction has now been described.An ethical question arose about the deception involved in simu-lating norms whereby individuals are led to believe that their per-ceptions are at variance with the perceptifns of others. Consider-ations of possible personal harm to subjects and considerations re-garding the security of the deception ?Po. to a deliberate decision notto reveal the laboratory manipulation. No untoward effects were ob°
served.

The Stimulus MaterialsThe stimulus materials represented line drawings of circles,
square, triangles, and diarr.,-yrds. Each image presented a standard un-numbered stimulus and nine numbered alternatives. These alternativescorresponded to the nine numbered response switches on each of thesubject consoles. The standard stimulus was varied in size from 5/8"to 1/4", and in some instances, by intervals of five degrees. Theposition of the standard stimulus relative to the comparison figureswas varied as well: that is, above, below, to the left and to theright of the comparison stimuli. The stimulus materials employed inthe study were similar to the visual items developed by Tuddenham
(1956).Figure 4 provides the reader with representation of thestimulus materials.Ten critical trials were embedded in 24 non-critical trials ina quasi-random fashion where the single restriction on randomness wasthat two critical trials coult" nt.t occur consecutively. The readerwill note again that on the ten critical trials, all subjects were inthe fifth position.
Pilot work identified the group of ten critical items. All 34stimulus figures were administered to a group or 30 subjects. On thebasis oZ the performance of this pilot group, ten critical items wereselected from the 34. These critical items were observed to yieldmodal judgments that coincided with the veridical. In order to insuresome variability of response, additional restrictions were imposed onthe selection of critical items. A requirement that the pilot group'sdistribution of scores be arrayed in more than one of the nine

response classes, but less than five, with no single class containingmore than two-thirds of the group's judgments, was employed.Table 2 summarizes the pilot study providing for each criticaltrial, the veridical and modal response, and the selected simulated
norm (SN).The designation of a switch position for the SN followed thesuggestions of Tuddenham (1956). The switch position containing the93rd percentile of the pilot group's distribution of scores wasidentified for each critical trial. The position of the simulatednorm was established by adding two switch positions to the switchnumber of the 93rd percentile. Thus, the SN could be construed as adeviant response since less than one percent of the pilot populationperceived it as the veridical response. This technique for designatingthe SN introduced some variability in the number of switches thatdeviated from the modal and veridical responses. Although the positionof the critical items in the laboratory series was determined in aquasi-random fashion, the ordering of these items took into accountthe variability in distance from veridicality. Thus the critical itemwith the fewest switch deviations from veridicality was placed earliestin the series and the item with the most deviatioris was placed last.This arrangement was employed so that subjects would not be confrontedearly in the series with a startling discrepancy between their judg-ment and the simulated norm.

The Yielding Score .A yielding score was assigned to each individual by summing thetotal number of switches deviating from the veridical-modal responsein the direction of the simulated norm across all critical trials.It was, then, considered important to examine the characteristicsof the critical items which were combined to produce the yieldingscore,Therefore, aspects of homogeneity and stability for theyielding score were investigated.Bi-serial correlations for an N of 70 drawn randomly from thetotal population w, -e computed between performance on each time andtotal score.Their correlations together with the item splits(proportions of subjects and conformity and remaining independent) arereported below in Table 3. An examination of the table reveals thatall of the items were related in a highly significant way to the totalconformity score and therefore justification exists for combining per-formance on the items into a single score. However, since the itemsplits on the first, second and eighth items were greater than 70 and30 percent, these items were not employed in the assignment of theyielding score. In the present study, therefore, an individual'syielding score is defined as the total number of deviations fromveridicality in the direction of the simulated norm for items three,four, five, six, seven, nine, and ten.On the issue of stability of yielding scores, a tetrachoriccorrelation of .45 is observed between performance on the third andninth critical items on the classification yielding and non-yielding.This suggests that some stability inheres in the conformity responseacross trials.

Analysis of DataThe data were reproduced on IMB cards and were examined on anIBM 7074 computer by an item-analysis program developed by ExaminationServices and Instructional Services, The Pennsylvania State University.The program output yielded bi-serial correlations between endorsementof an item and criterion scores.For the purposes of item selection and cross-validation, the243 subjects were assigned to three groups of 96, 97, and 50 in thefollowing manner. The group of 50 was randomly selected from thetotal population to serve as the factor validation group. The re-maining 193 subjects were ordered on the basis of their conformityscores and then assigned to two groups on an ABBA basis. In thismanner a ugh degree of similarity was achieved between the twodistributions of scores. These latter two groups constituted theempirical item selection group and the cross-validational group.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This ,.hapter represents a summary of the results obtained inthe effort to adduce personality factors associated with yielding
behavior.The plan of the study entailed empirical item selection againsta conformity criterion, cross-validation of these items, and a factoranalytic investigation of replicated items to identify dimensions ofpersonality.
Results
The program yielded bi-serial correlations for the two groupsof subjects, that is, for the item selection group and the crossvalidational group. The significance of the bi-serial correlationunder the conditions that the exact sampling, distribution is notknown was estimated by the method of R. F. Tate as reported by Walkerand Lev (p. 269, 1953) and is approximately .20 for an N of 100. Acomplete summary of all item-criterion bi-serial correlations for bothsamples of N = 96 and N = 97 appears in Appendix A.Table 5 summarizes those items that ha-re successfully withstoodcrosF-validational procedures. Inasmuch as the correlations were all inthe positive direction, an investigation of the relationship betweenacquiescence and conformity was undertaken. For a sample of 70 persons,

drawn randomly from the total subject population, a Pearscn product-moment correlation of -.03 was observed. Acquiescence was measured bynumber of positive endorseMents in the first 300 personality items.In addition, tetrachoric intercorrelations of the items whichwithstood validaciJn were undertaken. They are reported below in
Table 6.Inspection of these relationships do not suggest any singleunderlying dimension. However, because of the limited reliability ofthe tetrachoric correlation, interpretations must necessarily be
cautious.Subsequent studies might employ these items as a point ofdeparture by elaborating on the item themes represented here.Becalme of the dearth of replicated items, factor analyticprocedures could not be implemented. The study then constituted afailure in the effort to identify personality factors operating inyielding behavior.The effort to establish a relationship between yielding and per-sonality by examining the Independence of Judgment Scale items andCrutchfield Con-'nmity items, as scales, encountered a similar fate.The findings on two samples of 50 each drawn randomly from the totalsubject population is summarized below in Table 7.
Discussion
The current status of the personality-conformity literaturesuggested the research strategy undertaken here. The equivocality,the inconclusiveness, and the only occasional and isolated positive

results relating personality to yielding behavior dictated the needfor a basic study devoted to the identification and validation ofpersonality factors present in the yielding situation.The study reported here was one that responded to this need.Stringent requirements such as large groups of subjects, cross-validation of personality items, and a validation of extractedfactors represented the original intent of the study. The study,despite its failure to confirm a relationship between personality andyielding, contained methodological attributes generally not found inthe personality-conformity literature. One may speculate that someof the significant findings reported elsewhere failed to appear herebecause of these vigorous methodological demands.In view of the negative results, the present study also does riotafford an unequivocal answer to the question of personality factorsoperating in conformity behavior. The finding that only a few itemsare sustained in cross-validation, makes it impossible to decidewhether the negative outcome was a result of the unreliability of thepersonality items, or represents a disconfirmation of the guidinghypothesis that personality accounts for part of the variance in con-formity behavior.The position taken here is that it is indeed difficult to con-ceive of social situations, such as the conformity setting, as nothaving personality components. That position would be alien to thepsychologist who readily recognizes that social behavior alwaysrepresents an interaction between the personality organization of theindividual and the demands of the environment. Therefore, to dismiss
36
personality or sociil needs of the individual as a deteLminant of be-havior is to assert a wholly mechanistic position where there are noindividual differences and where the stimulus completely determinesthe response.In other words, it seems more reasonable to believethat the lack of an observed relationship is due to the unreliabilityof an item, rather than the lack of any true relationship.On the other hand, one might argue that the five items found tobe related to conformity are not only very reliable but are alsorepresentative of some facets of the personality of the conformist.Then, it would therefore appear worthwhile in future research to pur-sue the development of items similar to those reported above inTable 5 and assess their relationship to yielding behavior.The primary intent of the study was to identify the dimensionsof personality present in the conformity situation, and not to con-struct an inventory for discriminating yielders from non-yielders.However, the possibility that unreliable individual items grouped andexamined as a single inventory score might discriminate yielders fromnon-yielders could not be overlooked.Therefore, another cross-validational study was undertaken.Sixty-seven items had been identified in the initial item selectionsample as significantly related to conformity. Individuals in thesecond cross-validational sample were given a score based on theirresponses to these 67 items. These scores were then correlated withconformity and the observed correlation was -.06. Consequentlyneither single items nor the inventory score yielded significant re-lationships with conformity.
57
Further research might consider other techniques of assessing
personality.These might well include peer ratings, standardizedsituations, objective performance tests, and observer ratings of inter-
personal behavior.In addition to the issue of the unreliability of personalitymeasurements, one must also consider the problem of intensity of
situational demands. There are instances no doubt where these demandsare so great that individual differences in personality have no impact
on outcomes.A crude analogy would be the assessment of prize-fighters' abilities to withstand blows of an opponent by hitting them
with a sledge hammer. All the prize fighters would fall down.Consequently, in investigations of individual differences,situations must be selected that permit differences to emerge. Inpsychophysics, for example, individual differences in weight dis-crimination do not emerge when the discrimination task is made too
difficult.A range of acceptable difficulty must be found. Possibly,
more subtle situational manipulations such as a less severely dis-torted norm, might have yielded a different distribution of scoreswhich then, in turn, could have been related to personality measures.Selection of the simulated norm, of course, represents thekeystone of this kind of conformity research. The simulated norm mustbe chosen so that it is beyond the limits of acceptable error, but at
the same time not absurd.Another point seems worth noting. An examination of the per-centages of individuals in the total sample yielding consistently onall seven trials, six trials, five trials, four trials, etc., provides
58
the data given in Table 8. It shows that only 2 per cent of thesample conformed over all the critical trials while only 2 per centremained independent over all trials. Fifty-eight per cent yielded
on three or more critical trials.For the most part, individuals in the conflict situation some-times resolve the conflict in the direction of group influence, andsometimes iv the direction of their own independent perceptions.While the Table gives evidence for some consistency in response, itmay be of interest in future research to study vacillation in yieldingand non-yielding behavior.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The purpose of the study was to define the personality factorsassociated with conformity behavior, and to seek their validation.The .relationship between personality and conformity, although thesubject of a large literature, is not fully determined andopportunities for clarifying research existed. The study was directedtowards accounting for that portion of the variance in conformitybehavior which may be attributed to personality factors. Individualdifferences in conformity are the consequences of a wide range ofvariables sucas intelligence, sex, age, etc., but the attention herewas focused on the personality domain u conformity behavior.Conformity behavior has been defined as the modification of aperson's position on some issue, attitude, opinion, etc., as afunction of social influence. Generally, there have been three majorareas of research in the literature of conformity : (1) studies havebeen directed toward specifying the situational variables influencingthe conformity response; (2) other research has been directed towardexamining the generality of the conformity response; and (3) of primeconcern here, the personality attributes of the conformist have beenstudied.
The research literature in this latter area is equivocal, andformed the background for the present effort to clarify the confusedrelationship between the personality domain and conformity currentlyexisting in the literature.
61
Summary
A large pool of personality item statements(N = 257) in Yes-Noformat were administered to 243 males subjects who were unaware thatthe personality portion of the study was related to an investigation
of conformity. These subjects then participated in a laboratory con-
formity situation. The laboratory situation represented a modifiedAsch (1951) situation and employed electrical communication consolessimilar in construction to those of Crutchfield (1955) and Tuddenham
(1956).The stimulus materials were line drawings. Subjects wererequired to select, in turn, one of nine comparison stimuli as beingidentical to a standard stimule,. On critical trials, the experimentersimulated responses such that the subject received information,apparently the responses of othel subjects, contrary to his own per-
ceptions.Scores for each subject were determined by assessing thedeparture from a veridical perception in the direction of the ex-perimenter's simulated norm.Subjects were then constituted ato three groups of 96, 97, and
50 persons.The first two groups represented an empirical item-selection group with laboratory performance serving as the criterionand a cross-validation group respectively. The latter group of 50persons was held in abeyance for validating factor scores derived froma factor analysis of the replicated items. However, factor analyticinvestigation could not be pursued because of the failure to identifya significant number of replicated items.A theoretical discussion of the implications of the failure wasundertaken and suggestions for further study offered.

Conclusions
The study constituted a failure to establish relationships be-tween the personality domain and conformity behavior. However,reliable individual difference in conformity were in evidence.
