Samenvatting
Forty university students participated in a study in which they were faced with the decision of whether to enter an automobile with an apparently intoxicated driver or not. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: driver with one beer, intoxicated driver, intoxicated driver and confederate who enters the car, and intoxicated driver and confederate who refuses to enter the car.
