  1. Experiment into obedience Thiriet, Moradi, Siddiqui, Sheppard and Creaven (2013)

  2. Aim To investigate obedience towards ridiculous/bizarre direct instructions via signs.

  3. Procedure • A sign was placed on a bathroom door. • Participants were observed by multiple researchers and cameras.

  4. Footage

  5. Findings + graphs

  6. Why do we have so many year 8s? discuss sampling why we have so many year 8s? representative? uniquly obedient?

  7. Handwritten signs • Second condition to our experiment • A hand-written sign was used on the same bathroom

  8. Discussion • Difference between gender? • Difference between the official printed sign and our handwritten sign? Similar to uniform effect found in Bushman & Bickman. • What motives did our participants have? • Extraneous variables; however our design eliminates these.

  9. Methodological and Ethical issues Methodological issues: • Observer bias • Did close door influence more than sign? • Students in groups effect their actions, this could be due to conformity and not obedience. Ethical Issues: • Couldn’t gain informative consent from the participants - this would have changed their actions. • The participants may have doubted their intelligence.

  10. Any questions?
