360 Unknowing Experiments

Identify behavioral changes that result from the presence of others. Why does the presence of others produce changes in our level of performance or awareness?

Private Eyes addresses societies issue of not being able to see or know everything. There are numerous real-world cases if they had more evidence or another witness the defendant would be more than likely proven guilty. The Eye can see every private moment amongst every person, this gives a case hard evidence that is helpful to prove if someone is guilty or innocent. For example, in the story Clay witnessed a trial where the defendant hit a man on a beach and knocked him out unconscious. This then lead the man to die because of the tides rising and drowning him. The defendant was only able to be deemed guilty because they saw him asking about the tide levels and how busy the beach was often crowded. The video from the Eye then sealed the deal on proving intent of murder because the defendant was seen being blackmailed. The Eye could go farther than just proving murder, but also any other general crime. This is a huge advantage for society because there are no mistaken criminals, just fact. Under those circumstances, there are still clear disadvantages to both stories that make the worth of the idea questionable.

Psychologists have long wondered about the power of conformity and social norms on human behavior, whether or not an individual will act outside of their beliefs in order to fit in. In the 1950s, Solomon Asch decided to research this question. However, instead of researching vague concepts, such as attitudes, ethics, morals, and belief systems, he chose to focus on perceptual conformity, the extent to which humans tend to conform with one another’s perceptions of the world. Asch chose to study a simple visual comparison that could easily he and other researchers could easily construct and repeat in a laboratory setting. He theorized, along with many other researchers of his time, that one could manipulate another’s behavior by applying group

Noticing the reactions of others is similar to research such as the Milgram study, because my research along with the Milgram study allowed people to make interpretations of the situation and also to make a decision as whether or not to respond to my norm violation. The interpretation processes that the people on the bus applied were fundamental attribution, as a result of looking and rolling their eyes at me. Most of the people who looked at me singing, I can see that they wanted to do something more than just tell me to stop singing, or to just simply tell me to stop

Dr. Savulescu goes on to say that sometimes, people’s behavior is based on moral irrelevance. The presence of an eye or a face will cause people

My question for my project was does lying show/create a physical reaction in the body? With the information, I have gathered I have determined that the physical reactions the body can produce when lying consists of the difference in breathing, covering the face, avoiding eye contact, an action that distracts them from the conversation such as hair twirling and nail biting. I have also determined that the three factors taken into account for a polygraph/lie detector are perspiration/sweat, heart rate, and blood pressure.

“Have you ever seen a picture with eyes that seem to follow you? Most people feel uneasy around them, but most people also learn to shrug the feeling off. It’s true that a lot of paintings are just paintings, but some . . . are more. Those are The Watchers, and The Watchers are everywhere.

Throughout the experiment, it was made evident that the benzoyl peroxide had the largest overall and average inhibited growth. This treatment is very commonly sold and purchased in a ten percent mixture while the others are typically used in larger percentages. The highest ring of inhibited growth for benzoyl peroxide was in trial two with 1.8 centimeters. The salicylic acid had its largest ring during the first trial, and it was 1.5 centimeters. Finally, tea tree oil also had its largest ring during trial one with a diameter of 1.2 centimeters.

An additional factor is involved, however. Each member of a group may watch the others, but he is also aware that the others are watching him. They are an audience to his own reactions. Among American males it is considered desirable

Neuroeconomic studies have found that economic decision making activates involuntary brain structures. When presented with pictures of gazing eyes as opposed to nonwatching eyes or flowers, participants were more likely to engage in prosocial behavior (Manesi et al., 2016). This effect was modest, however. Perhaps, it was modest due to the task being completely computerized, and hence, the effect could be larger if the task was performed differently. This involuntary neural activation is postulated to be caused by seeing human eyes and faces (Burnham, 2007). By showing people images of gazing eyes, we can hypothetically manipulate the proximate causes of prosocial behavior, or as Burnham would say, engineer human cooperation.

The research in this report is a slight reproduction of the experiments conducted by Vosniadou and Brewer (1992) and Panagiotaki, Nobes and Banerjee (2006). The purpose of both of these studies were to investigate the nature of children’s knowledge about the earth’s shape (Vosniadou and Brewer, 1992) and their understanding of the earth, with the use of drawings and multiple questions types (Vosniadou et al., 1992; Panagiotaki, Nobes and Banerjee, 2006). Likewise the research conducted in this study was based in the area of childhood cognition and investigating the development to a child’s conceptual knowledge of the earth and its shape.

I believe that observational learning is a very practical way for children; since as we know, children learn to see the adults that surround them, as well as they can learn from the other children who occupy their same environment. Therefore, knowing the environment surrounding the child (parents, teachers, nurses, etc., as well as school or playmates) allows to predict the behavior of the child. The most common problem with this method of learning is that it can be positive for psychological, biological, social and socioeconomic development, giving him/her a healthy life. However, sometimes this type of learning can be negative and therefore makes the child develop in an appropriate way such as psychologically, biologically and socially. Hence,

When events take place it can often be difficult to understand what really is happening, or it can be perceived differently by a different person. With the knowledge of perception altering our reality, should we trust eye-witness evidence? It is one thing to personally experience something, than to be an acquaintance to the experience, or hear the event second hand. For example, if a scientist is studying rock or mountain formation, they make know information and knowledge about the topic. If this scientist goes on a trip to visit Mount St. Helens, he or she would know that this mountain is actually a dormant volcano and not just a mountain. If there is another group of people at the mountain, they may not know about the volcano and just perceive this mountain as a mountain only. Once the scientist informs the group about the volcano, their perception starts to change as these look for evidence or proof to justify what the scientist said. Patterns are then discovered and explains the natural phenomenon of this mountain. Although this scenario may be true, truth comes from what we experience, which makes eye-witness evidence valid. When personal events take place, knowledge is not the only factor on perception and reasoning, emotion affects the situation as well. Emotional connections are added to real life situations we experience, making the experience we

A. Basic Concepts 1. Observational LearningThe Social Learning Theory says that people canlearn by watching other people perform the behavior. Observational learningexplains the nature of children to learn behaviors by watching the behaviorof the people around them, and eventually, imitating them. With the ―Bobo Doll‖ experiment(s) , Bandura included an adult who is tasked to actaggressively toward a Bobo Doll while the children observe him. Later,Bandura let the children play inside a room with the Bobo Doll.

Most people love watching other humans and like trying to figure out why they do what they do. It’s called people watching and we have all been guilty of it. The human race is fascinating and it is very interesting how we were created and what makes us tick. Have you ever wondered why some people have an uncontrollable urge toward destructible behaviors? Do you ever wonder if the behavior can be controlled? Some people like to act a certain way for attention, but there are others who act a certain way because they suffer from impulse control disorders.
