Discussion boards provide students an opportunity to share their unique perspective, make recommendations, provide an opinion, or answer a question about an issue. Each response should be professional and must be written well (follow rules of grammar and mechanics), clearly, and concisely. In general, students should support each of their claims using empirical evidence, logic and reason, or both. After posting a response, respond to another student’s post. When responding to others it is best to add support to their claims or add evidence or logic that goes against their claims. Please remain professional, constructive, and open-minded when responding to those whose perspectives differ.

Today, we can’t replicate classic experiments such as Zimbardo’s Stanford prison study or Milgram’s obedience study because we realize that there may be psychological risks to participants that outweigh the benefits of the research. But, let’s just say we could and that we wanted to see if the effects replicate in a different context (e.g., instead of a teacher-learner situation, let’s say we want to study obedience in a different situation).

Describe a real life situation in which you think obedience, conformity, or social roles may have a big impact on people’s behavior. Some examples are drunk driving, criminal behavior, cheating, hazing, gang behavior, working at a company like Dell, participating on athletic teams (men vs. women, captains vs. members), etc.

Design a study (experiment, survey, or observation) to test whether your concept (choose one: conformity, obedience, or social roles) has an influence on people’s behavior. Make your study as simple as possible and describe it in detail. What do you predict will happen? What do you think you will find?
