According to Berry's research, people from societies that are "low context" cultures, where communication is typically more straightforward and individualistic, are less likely to conform to group opinions. Inuit societies have been classified as low context cultures, whereas African farming and cattle-raising societies have been classified as high context cultures. Norwegian society has been classified as intermediate context. Therefore, a member of an Inuit fishing society would be least likely to conform to group opinions.
