%X An experiment on conformity was carried out. The participants were 95 youths. The scale ¡°Conformity ¨C Autonomy¡± from I. Karagiozov¡¯s questionnaire for locus of control (1998) was also used. The results indicated the prevalence of youth conformity regarding institutions and media. The different types of conformity were related to each other. The subjects¡¯ gender and the experimentators¡¯ gender mediated the connections between the both types of conformity. The female youths conformed more with institutions than the male youths, but there were not any significant gender differences in their conform behavior regarding media (magazines). More male youths conformed for the magazines when the experimentator was a woman. More female youths conformed for the magazines when the experimentator was a man.
