Seven women and one troon. You know what’d be super interesting? A study that mimicked this setup, but where all but one of the ballon-holders was a confederate.
The study participant would be a woman who thinks she’s playing this game. The man (also a confederate) would pop the troon’s balloon and then, each time the study is repeated with a different participant, you’d have a different number of confederates pop their own balloons.
Your prediction (and I tend to agree) is that a participant woman would be far less likely to pop her own balloon when none of the confederates do so.
I bet placement matters too, the ones next to the troon will probably feel more visible and be more likely to try to fit in than ones further removed. Should mess with that too.
Almost certainly does because the troon will look to the girls on each side of them when it happens, and that will increase social pressures immensely.

Nah, one just lets out a rebel yell every couple seconds.
I as well.
I was halfway through before I realized we weren't talking about a panel full of "good ole" girls.
I was picturing Daisy Duke.
