Asch's study found that individuals are likely to conform to group pressure, even if the group is objectively incorrect. This was shown through the subjects giving incorrect answers simply because the rest of the group did. The study did not show that subjects required a great deal of harassment before conforming, nor did it find that the size of the group did not matter. Additionally, the study did not show a difference in conformity between male and female subjects.
