Groups the studies whose central finding concerns how the actual or imagined presence of other people shapes an individual's thoughts, feelings or behavior. Belongs here: Asch's Conformity Experiments, the Bystander Effect Experiments, Festinger and Carlsmith's $1/$20 Experiment, the Implicit Association Test Studies, Milgram's Obedience Experiments, the Robbers Cave Experiment, Schachter and Singer's Epinephrine Experiment, Sherif's Autokinetic Effect Experiments, the Stanford Prison Experiment and Tajfel's Minimal Group Experiments. A study whose social-influence finding is incidental to a developmental, clinical or cognitive question is filed under that other branch instead.
