Riva, Williams, Torstrick and Montali, The Journal of Social Psychology 154(3), 2014, 208-216. 62 participants were randomly assigned to inclusion, ostracism or control in a Cyberball game, then an experimenter told them to go outside in cold winter weather and take 39 unique, creative photographs. Ostracised participants were more likely to obey; inclusion and control did not differ.
