What are some good Psychology studies to read up on?

I’ve been reading through my popular psychology books and medical tales which is all good but I kinda want to read up on some interesting studies to kinda keep me sharp and get me ready for uni. Any suggestions for some papers to read up on?
Yes, papers you read and find intresting go ahead and read the articles or books they cited. As it relates to the topic and is rather intresting.

Also make sure the papers are from a good source. Try PubMed amazing rescource.
I read this back when I was doing A-levels - summaries of a lot of studies

Some good classic studies to read about are:

Stanley Milgram obedience studies
Bandura's Bobo doll experiments
The Stanford Prison experiment
Asch's conformity study
Bystander effect studies (e.g. Latane and Darley)
Watson's Little Albert experiment

I also find studies on split-brain really fascinating. Such a weird phenomenon.
