I suggest that you refer to an excellent chapter by Roger Brown (of
Harvard).  It appears in his introductory social psychology text:

Brown, Roger, (1986). _Social_Psychology:_The_Second_Edition._  New
York:  Free Press.

He reviews several studies on this topic and (surprise) finds that the
evidence is mixed and the topic needs more research.
