- Group size decreased from four people to two
- Would decrease conformity because normative social influence is reduced when the group is smaller
- Presence of a non-conforming role model
- Decrease conformity as it decreases the unanimity of the group, decreases conformity by 80%
- Task difficulty
- Increases conformity as the participant would look for help and for guidance. As it becomes more difficult, it becomes more ambiguous
