Hi ! Ive never thought to read emaples of these kind of experiments, but I love them. I dont study pyscology but only as a hobbie, and social experiments are the best! Hope to catch part 2! how long are you doing it for? And not one person has commented on it during that day??
I bet loads of them commented on the smartphones after you left.. The other day I stood up on the bus to get off and get my rucksack from the open space behind our chairs, I saw the woman next to me had taken a selfie and she looked sad. I was thinking how sad its become that people would even take a selfie of a sad expression. Then she started to write under "When the guy next to you on the bus has never heard of deodrant" hahahahahhaha
I want to also do the lavender experiment.. I did it accidently with weed on the bus and people complained to the bus driver that my feet smelt!
thanks for sharing your work!
I only did the experiment for one day and that was enough. I encourage you to try it--in some form or fashion. My instructor said we could do any type of "light social deviance" we wanted to do...so, walking through the "socially wrong" door all day, walking on the "wrong" side of the sidewalk, shaking hands back and forth sideways vs. up and down--but we had to do it ALL day long--AND try to gauge what others were thinking about our actions. I don't think many people got active verbal responses about their deviance, but we all go some looks.
Thanks for reading! I should have the second half posted in the next day or so.
I interact with strangers daily, but ill leave the experiments up to you! Ill be reading your work.. your in USA?
Yep, in US. I try to vary my posting times. Still trying to figure out when the site has the most traffic, for the things I write.
id stick with GMT and - or + an hour :)
It is so hard for my schedule to make GMT, but I will try to one day...
Until then, Part 2!
