概要	This study investigated whether conformist bias appears in information-seeking situations. We replicated Fujikawa et al. (2024) using a between-participants design. In Experiments 1 (N = 116) and 2 (N = 157), participants answered yes/no questions with either objectively fixed or non-fixed correct answers. After viewing hypothetical others’ responses (9, 6, 3, or 0 “yes” answers), they answered the same questions. Results showed conformist bias for objectively fixed questions, but not for non-objectively fixed ones. These findings partially replicated the original study and suggest that conformist bias may depend on the objectivity of the information being judged.
