在探索小群体的一致性时，比例是否与群体规模一样重要？对Boyd和Richerson(1985)的从众传播模型进行了两次检验。在实验一中，在一个计算机实验室里观察了378人。一种罕见的行为是由许多幼稚的模型模拟的。当每个人进入模具实验室时，记录行为模型和新来者行为模型的比例。在实验二中，心理学实验中的476名参与者(在不知情的情况下)参加了另一项实验，其中比例和小组大小都受到了操纵。Logistic回归表明，在两个实验中，模型的比例，而不是群体规模，是一致性的显著预测因素。这些发现从它们对人类合作行为的进化理论的贡献的角度进行了讨论。
Is proportion as important as group size when exploring conformity in small groups? Two tests of Boyd and Richerson's (1985) conformist transmission model were undertaken. In experiment one, 378 individuals were observed in a computer laboratory. A rare behaviour was modelled by a number of naive models. As each individual entered die laboratory the proportion of models of the behaviour and the behaviour of the newcomer was recorded. In experiment two, 476 participants in psychology experiments took part (unknowingly) in an additional experiment where both proportion and group size were manipulated. Logistic regression indicated that the proportion of models, but not group size, was a significant predictor of conformity in both experiments. The findings are discussed in terms of their contribution to an evolutionary theory of human cooperative behaviour.
