Data for : Impact of Contextual and Personal Determinants on Online Social Conformity

In our work, we investigate the impact of contextual determinants (such as majority group size, the number of opposing minorities and their sizes, and the nature of the task) and personal determinants (such as self-confidence, personality and gender) on online social conformity. In order to achieve this, we deployed an online quiz with subjective and objective multiple-choice questions. For each question, participants provided their answer and self-reported confidence. Following this, they were shown a fabricated bar chart that positioned the participant either in the majority or minority, presenting the distribution of group answers across different answer options. Each question tested a unique group distribution in terms of the number of minorities against the majority and their corresponding group sizes. Subsequently, participants were given the opportunity to change their answer and reported confidence. Upon completing the quiz, participants undertook a personality test and participated in a semi-structured interview. We provide the preprocessed data set collected through the online quiz and the Big-5 personality test along with this article for your reference.本研究旨在探究情境性因素（如多数群体规模、对立少数群体的数量与各自规模、任务属性）与个体性因素（如自信心、人格特质与性别）对在线社会从众行为的影响。为此，我们设计了包含主观与客观型单选题的在线测验问卷。针对每道题目，参与者需提交自身答案并自评作答自信心。随后，向参与者展示一张伪造的柱状图，该图表将参与者标注为多数群体或少数群体成员，并呈现不同选项对应的群体作答分布情况。每道题目均设置了独特的群体分布场景，即少数群体与多数群体的数量及对应规模各不相同。此后，参与者可修改自身答案并重新上报作答自信心。测验结束后，参与者需完成大五人格测试（Big-5 personality test）并参与半结构化访谈。 本文随附通过在线测验问卷与大五人格测试收集的预处理数据集，供各位参考。
