The fact that people’s behaviour is influenced by what their friends are doing is nothing new. And there is a dark side. In Solomon Asch’s seminal 1950s conformity studies, 75% of participants answered a simple test (judging the length of lines) incorrectly if the rest of a group did so. This conformity is blamed for bystander apathy – when onlookers do nothing in an emergency because no one else is. There’s plenty of evidence that obesity, drinking and smoking spreads like this within peer groups.

I dropped off my absentee ballot the first day I could. Don't trust the post office to deliver it ;-)
