A social psychology research team investigated how social pressure influences students to engage in minor academic dishonesty (signing a false name on an attendance log for an absent peer).

Table 2: Compliance rates under different social pressure conditions

	Three student confederates urged an unknown student to sign a false name	One close friend urged a student to sign a false name	One unknown student urged a student to sign a false name
% of participants who falsified the attendance log	91	82	58

Explain how far social impact theory can support the findings of the 'instigators and academic dishonesty' study shown in Table 2.
