Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both social desirability and acquiescence.

Cultures that prioritize group harmony often place a premium on agreeing with others and avoiding conflict. This emphasis on social harmony may lead individuals to be more likely to respond in a socially desirable way or to acquiesce (i.e., agree to statements even if they don't fully believe in them) to maintain group harmony, leading to higher levels of both response biases.
