What was the outcome of this study? a. Control group participants who did not have an experimenter present read the entire list of statements. b. There was no difference in the number of words read as a function of the presence or absence of the experimenter. c. When the experimenter was present, 92% of the participants read all of the derogatory words to the confederate. d.
