Suspicion of Confederacy by Group Members.
Martin, J. David
Small Group Behavior, v10 n2 p284-94 May 1979
Studies deception in social psychological research by using group members rather than audience as data-generating subjects. Use of confederates, if chosen with care, does not appear to increase suspicion from group members. The more conspiciously deviant a confederate, the more he is suspected. (Author/BEF)
