New chance to win a book!

You can win a book if you answer the current Question of the Month correctly. In 1977, I edited a relatively unknown, but obscure, social psychology readings book with some narrative written by me, titled, Contemporary Social Psychology: Representative Readings. It contains (in my humble judgment) some of the best journal articles in social psychology from the 1960s and 1970.  Recently I discovered a box of fresh, unused copies of the book. If you email me the correct answer to the current question, your name will be entered into a drawing for the book. Due to time constraints, I can acknowledge correct answers only.

Question: Each of the following refers to one of Milgram's studies.  All, but one, have something in common.  Which one differs from the others, and in what way?  To be considered a correct answer, both parts of the question need to be answered correctly.

  1. The drawing power of crowds of different sizes

  2. Response to intrusion into waiting lines

  3. Cyranoids

  4. A field experiment in the subway

  5. Television and antisocial behavior

  6. Conformity in Norway and France

  7. Liberating effects of group pressure

  8. Mental maps of New Yorkers and Parisians
