Deviance in the Dark experiment - Stuart McMillen comics

The Deviance in the Dark experiments were conducted by Ken Gergen and Mary Gergen of Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania. Their findings were published in Psychology Today magazine in October 1973. * Unfortunately I cannot find academic papers with data tables that reveal the full trends of the variables that the researchers studied.

Loved this one Stuart. I'd never heard of this experiment. So fascinating!
