Common fate, similarity, and other indices of the status of aggregates of persons as social entities
Donald Campbell's 1958 paper in Behavioral Science is the paper in which the term entitativity was introduced. Its title frames the question as which indicators, among them common fate and similarity, give a set of persons the status of a social entity. No finding is attributed to it here beyond that framing.
