Want to be liked by attractive people; nice to attractive people; favouring attractiveness. Kulka and kessler (1978) mock jury study; attractive people awarded more money than unattractive authority. Milgram (1963) study; how many shocks will you give before you refuse & stand up to the lab person? group polarization exaggeration during a discussion preceding a decision groupthink. Whyte in fortune (1952); whole group working towards something through rationalized conformity.
