In asch's study the is the ecological validity?

The ecological validity of Asch's study has been questioned. It was a very artificial and trivial set up, and so it would be difficult generalising this to the real world. This has been countered by Asch, who said he made sure the test was heavily controlled for a reason. He contends that the strict scientific nature of the study is useful, as it tests raw conformity and doesn't allow for any other variables to factor in.
