Social Psychology on Social Influence - Dictionary of Arguments
Haslam I 93 Social Influence/social psychology: history is replete with individuals (e.g., Galileo, Freud), as well as minority groups (e.g., the Suffragettes, the anti-slavery movement), who have advocated views that challenged mainstream attitudes.
