Conformity Experiment

Just finished about my essay yesterday about conformity, and we did conformity again in tut today. BUT IT WAS FUN! we did a conformity experiment. And we did it on the lift. OMG. IT WAS DAMN HILARIOUS. I WAS LAUGHING MY ASS OUT AFTER THIS EXPERIMENT.

Ok, what happened was, we did a experiment as a group consisting of 4. And for another one, we did with the whole class, around 20 of them.

Imagine, we are standing at a crowded place, in front of the bailieu library entrance, and we started to look at the sky right infront of the entrance. 20 people starting above the sky, and pointing our hands.

What will you do? Conform to us?'

Ok, this is what happened, all of the people who came out from the library turned and looked up. And some of them, actually turned, and look and stand there. OMG. You might think it sounds stupid, but people do conform. That's the truth, unless you are a psych graduate, and you know what we are doing.

And for our group designed experiment, we did the lift one, exactly like Milgrim's experiment. We started with 1 people in the lift, 2, 3 and 4. And we faced our back to instead of facing front. OMG. IT'S SO FUNNY TO ACTUALLY SEE PEOPLE TURNING THEIR BACK, AND CONFORMING TO US!!!

AND ONE BOLD GUY ACTUALLY TURNED, AND HE FELT WEIRD, AND HE TURNED HIS BODY HALF WAY FACING THE BACK. *muahaha*

I've posted up the video, the exact experiment we did, and yeah it worked!!! *except the part on the hat*

Have fun XD
