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.
本系统综述全面概述了自2004年以来开展的从众研究。该综述遵循PRISMA指南，从大量文献（2023年1月至4月进行的文献综述）中筛选出48篇相关文章，系统地提炼出关于关键发现、方法以及未来研究方向的宝贵见解。尽管近期研究证实了从众现象在不同情境中的普遍性，呼应了阿施（1951年）的开创性发现，但该综述强调需要对包括年龄、性别和文化在内的影响因素形成统一认识，其中情境变量起着核心作用。数字技术的进步拓展了研究可能性，使得在各种数字情境下开展调查成为可能。研究人员采用诸如计算机介导沟通（辛内雷拉和格林，2007年）以及虚拟现实（基尔利齐亚斯等人，2020年）等创新方法，来探索与真实在线互动极为相似的数字空间中的从众现象。鉴于从众研究的不断发展态势，本综述倡导开展进一步的跨学科和跨文化研究、全面的元分析以及重复研究，以加深我们对这一复杂现象的理解。
