What they found was in particular Asian people would comply with shocking the subject up to the point where they were afraid it was going to do them physical harm because an authority figure told them to. The people who were least likely to do it were black women. Their hypothesis about it was that black women came from a culture where they were rebelling against an unfair authority so it was ingrained into their personality but overall they found that Western people were less likely to comply with authority than Eastern people were.
