Experimentation on Human Behavior

Social/behavioral psychology has a unique position in the sciences. It's not necessarily a "hard" science, and yet it uses experimentation to reveal amazing insight into human behavior. While researching potential paper topics for my upcoming social science paper, I came across some really interesting social psychology experiments.

I suggest reading the actual published research papers.
Once you understand the implications of these experiments, it's hard not to see them everywhere.
