conformity

http://www.boston.com/news/education/k_12/articles/2007/12/18/prank_led_school_to_treat_two_with_shock/

A prankster calls a school and poses as supervisors. He instructs the teachers to punish 2 special educations students with electric shocks. This story is very similar to the McDonald's story in the text book in chapter 8. Informational conformity is seen because the prankster poses as an authority figure, giving commands to subordinates.
