"Our results suggest that students’ attentiveness may be most strongly influenced by the classmates sitting next to them, especially if those classmates are inattentive (though attentive classmates may be more influential in classes with a “lower attentiveness baseline,” as theorized above)."

Pretty darn rigorous study of "inattention contagion" showing that students are influenced by nearby peers who display inattentive behavior, affecting their self-perceptions of attentiveness, their note-taking quantity, & their quiz performance. https://buff.ly/4hwvnhb
