Do you know of any studies done outside of the US or any english speaking country? Is this idea applicable in different cultures with different languages?

I'm not aware of this specific study being replicated with other languages. I don't see why the basic premise behind the theory would be culture-specific, but I don't know of any direct attempts to generalize the finding to other cultures.

Oke, so is the conclusion of something like this that it is common among most people or is it just common among Americans? But it could very well be generalized among most humans. I hope I am not being a inconvenience. Because I don't mean this as an attack on psychology, I am just being curious. However the effects are very surprising and very interesting. I will keep my eyes open if I can see this effect in real life. Thank you for the effort you are putting in your great courses!

I found one done in 1985 where they have changed the experiment a bit and they still got similar results. However they don't agree with the conclusion of calling it mindlessly complying. Folkes, V. S. (1985). Mindlessness or mindfulness: A partial replication and extension of Langer, Blank, and Chanowitz. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 48(3), 600-604. doi:10.1037//0022-3514.48.3.600

Thanks for that! I'll have to look into that particular study and see what it means for the broader theory.
