For example, in one study, subjects were asked to walk around on campus for 30 minutes, wearing a sign board that said "Repent!". Those who agreed estimated that on average 63.5% of their fellow students would also agree, while those who disagreed estimated 23.3% on average.

Huh? I think you're missing a sentence. Agreed with what? Repenting?

Agreed to walk around on campus with a repent sign, presumably.

Indeed. Edited the post to clarify.
