When I read about this study done by Berry's (1979) study on conformity. The experiment is similar to Asch's experiment but it has seven lines instead of four. However, I have returned the book to the library without looking up the reference section for Berry. So if anyone what I am talking about, would they kindly email me the reference for Berry (1979)

Many thanks

According to PsycInfo, there were 11 journal articles published by an author named Berry in 1979. None of them have to do with conformity, however. When I include dissertation, chapters, books, and reports, a single additional item is added to the list:

Berry, Lilly M. The experimenter's use of legitimate and expert power to influence the subject. Dissertation Abstracts International. 1979 Jun Vol 39(12-B) 6189.

Is this the one you had in mind?
