jan 1, 1995 - Ellison et. al Field Experiment

Description:

Had experimenters drive around, and stop at atop lights, then hold a 12-second delay when the light turned green. They were measuring the likelihood of a person to honk based on what type of car they drove. They found that those in closed-top cars honked quicker and longer than the people who were in convertibles. This experiment shows the likelihood of "aggressive" actions when given anonymity.
