Journal Article
Stott. (2020). Self-categorization as a basis of behavioural mimicry: Experiments in The Hive. PloS one, e0241227 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0241227

INTRODUCTION: Do we always do what others do, and, if not, when and under what conditions do we do so? In this paper we test the hypothesis that mimicry is moderated by the mere knowledge of whether the source is a member of the same social category...
