This is a valid point, and I can only assume you are being downvoted due to "stereotyping." The sample group IS an important factor. For example, Milgram's famous "electric shock" experiment was repeated in many different countries. Germans for example, were very susceptible to authority figures, Australians were lesser so. Results are going to change based on the group being tested. It still doesn't change the fundamental finding of the study, however.
