For my breaching experiment, I will asking people at the gym how many sets they have left and stand next to them until they finish their workout. This will break the norm because it will make people feel uncomfortable like they are being watched. Also it will make them feel pressured and have a rushed workout.

These are a few ideas I have brainstormed so far

1. Narrate my actions out loud

for example: quietly narrate everything I do to myself to see how others react

2. Thank people excessively

for example: overly thank someone for any little thing to see how they react

3. Stand in a corner facing the wall

for example: choose a high traffic area and simply stand in a corner and face the wall

For my breaching experiment, I'm going to intentionally violate the unwritten rules of conversational scripts and basic digital literacy. While sitting next to a friend or classmate, I will hold a standard computer mouse completely backward or upside down. I will then look at them with a genuine, puzzled expression and ask a completely obvious question, such as asking which side of the mouse is the front or whether the device plugs into the screen or the wall.

My goal is to actively observe their immediate reaction to this behavior. I will secretly track how many seconds they pause in confusion, note their facial expressions as they try to figure out if you are joking, and listen to whether their tone shifts to a simplified, slow explanation. I will also monitor my own internal anxiety and note how hard it feels to break the script before I ultimately record the results for my paper.

Breaching Experiment Idea

For my breaching experiment idea , I will talk to one of my friends or classmates and slowly stand a little closer than normal during the conversation. I won’t say anything about it and will act like everything is completely normal. The goal is to break the unspoken rule of personal space and see how they react. They might step back, lean away, or look uncomfortable without actually saying anything. Some people might even try to end the conversation early.

For my experiment, with my close friends and family I'm going to start giving handshakes for every interaction we have to see if they pick it up. With family I live with we don't give handshakes in the morning so Imma try doing that to see their reaction. Of course, no explanation. Personally, I think this would be a fun interaction. Update- It went very fun, honestly. Some fun interactions and confused faces as I went along with my day. I would definitely do this out of the blue.

One breaching experiment I would exercise is going outside to a mall or shopping area or any places where people like to go out to and say hello and give a friendly compliment that’s unexpected to get a reaction of someone who’s probably not use to that type of approach and motivate confidence.

For my breaching experiment, I will go into a store and ask employees obvious questions such as ‘Do you work here?’ or ‘Is this where I pay?’ even when the answers are clear. This breaks the social norm of asking only necessary questions. I will observe how people react, whether they become confused, irritated, or remain polite.

My breaching experiment Idea!!

1. Getting up and walking away in the middle of someone talking without explaining why I did it.

For my breaching experiment, I am considering joining a random group's conversation and asking to participate while I wait for a friend. This will test how open they are to allowing a stranger to join their group. Another idea I have is to greet my friends with a handshake instead of a hug. This will help me discuss how social interactions form.

# data[].attributes.body
I think for the experiment I might do is ask obvious questions to see if they respond seriously or ignore it

# data[].attributes.body
For my breaching experiment I am thinking of going into a grocery store and ask employees questions that are obvious like "do you work here?" "is this where you buy your groceries" "is that your uniform" and others. I would see how they would react and if they get anxious, frustrated, or stay patient.

# data[].attributes.body
For my breaching experiment I will be making several video calls to my friends, and once they answer I will promptly say, “Hey, what’s up? I can’t talk right now, sorry.” Normally when someone calls another person it means they want to talk or have a reason for calling. By calling someone just to tell them I can’t talk, I will be breaking the normal expectation of phone conversations. I will observe how my friends react, such as if they seem confused, ask why I called, or question the purpose of the call.

# data[].attributes.body
For my breaching experiment I am looking to observe how each person's emotional response is triggered, if they become happy, sad, concerned, or perhaps angry with just one simple question, statement or action.

Questions or statements like...

1. Asking someone if they are okay after they smirk, smile, or laugh.

2. Complimenting everyone's smile for a whole day.

Actions such as...

1. Poor milk before my cereal (I believe this may get a lot more reactions than some expect.

2. Pat every person I have a conversation with on the shoulder when the interaction is over.

1. Go to a public area with lot of pedestrian traffic and stand still and do nothing

A few areas could be

-crowded mall

- middle of a school hallway during passing periods

2. Go to a fast food restaurant and order a food item off of a competitors menu

-for example going to McDonalds and order a Whopper from Burger King

For my breaching experiment idea, I will interrupt my friends' or family members' conversation to ask for a hug. It will be a meaningless hug, no long sap story about how bad my day was after, just a hug and acting as if nothing happened. They'll pause and wait for an explanation afterwards, one they'll never get. It is law-abiding while still breaking the norm and exercising your free-will. :)

For my breaching experiment I think I am going to do public space disruptions sitting next to strangers in a restaurant while there are plenty of open seats.

I've thought of a couple things to do for this experiment, but the one that has stuck with me the most is going on a tangent in public.

Say one day I go out to eat at a restaurant, and the server greets me with the typical "Hello how's your day?". Instead of saying "Good and yourself?" I would say "Oh I'm having the worst day, I just failed my midterm, my boyfriend just broke up with me, my car's gonna get repoed, I just have so much going on." Make up a complete lie of how horrible of a day I'm having just to see their reaction.

For my breaching experiment I am thinking about initiating a conversation in a bathroom stall :)

For my breaching experiment I want to raise my hand every time I talk to my family for a day. This breaks norms because people just keep their hands to the side or play with them during conversation. I will record their reactions by observing what their facial reactions look like and what they say to me, especially if we go out.

For my experiment, I would ask someone a question, listen to their answer, and then ask the same question again right after they answered it. Normally, when someone answers a question, the conversation moves forward. By repeating the question, the person might look confused or think I did not hear them.

for my (mia c) beaching experiment, I been thinking to do the personal space for my assignment. there some times when people were around me and present to the rest of the class I get pretty anxiety because I am not a big crowned person in school. the example of the personal space is:

. sitting immediately next to a stranger at an empty, large table rather than taking a separate table.

. Looking away or focusing on a phone.

. Personal = Friends and Extended Family = 1.5 - 4 feet in distance.

all of the things that I seen people need to be alone and maybe take a few minutes to think about your yourself instead being scared or shy the whole day of school, work, and places to get over the personal space forever.

# data[].attributes.body
For my breaching experiment, I think I would attempt at running inside of a store for no particular reason, since I don't recall even one time I was in a store shopping and saw someone running. I chose a store, since if it was outside it wouldn't really be that strange since people run all the time for exercise, so I think a store would be the perfect place where my experiment will seem more out of the ordinary than in any other location.

# data[].attributes.body
For the breaching experiment some ideas I have thought of are:

-using the gym equipment completely wrong and see if anyone corrects me

-reading every label out loud at the grocery store to see what kind of looks I get.

-Sitting or standing too close to somebody in public

-Wearing pajamas to a formal place or being overly dressed in a casual place.

- Randomly posting strange things on my Instagram story to see if anyone slides up

-saying "hello" instead of "goodbye"

# data[].attributes.body
For my breaching experiment, I want to try something I’ve seen before, I plan on going to a restaurant and when the waiter is taking our order, I will turn to my husband and ask for his permission to order something like fries instead of a salad and wait to see if the waiter or waitress will have a reaction alongside my husband.

Breaching Experiment Idea: Asking Obvious Questions in a Store

Breaching Experiment Idea: Asking Obvious Questions in a Store

# data[].attributes.body
For my breaching experiment, I would go into a store and ask employees obvious questions about items that are clearly labeled. For example, I might stand in front of the milk section and ask an employee, “Do you sell milk here?” or point to a product and ask what it is even though it is clearly labeled. Normally, customers ask employees questions when they cannot find something, so asking very obvious questions breaks the normal expectation of how customers behave in a store.

I would observe how the employee reacts to the situation. They might look confused, laugh, answer the question normally, or try to figure out why I’m asking something so obvious. I would also pay attention to their body language and tone to see if they seem uncomfortable or surprised.

This experiment would show how people expect others to follow certain social norms in everyday situations. When someone breaks those expectations, it can create confusion or awkward reactions, which helps demonstrate how strongly social norms influence behavior.

1. Talk to strangers like you have known them for a long time.

2. Call your close friends and speak to them professionally, like you're giving a sales speech to make plans.

For my breaching experiment, I may need to use family members because I am unable to meet up with people in person unless I can find someone willing to participate digitally. One idea I have is using social media by oversharing statuses and posting updates about every small thing I do throughout the day. Another idea is during a serious conversation with family members, I will grin awkwardly the entire time until they become uncomfortable. I will then observe their reactions and how they respond to the behavior since it breaks normal social expectations.

For my breaching experiment, I believe something I can do that exercises my free-will and breaks the norm without breaking laws is ask a family member or friend for a hug mid-conversation. There would be no point in doing so, no lengthy, depressing conversation that follows the hug about how bad a day I had. It would be a simple interruption for a meaningless hug, maybe a little awkward pause after, while they wait for you to explain your need for the hug. An explanation they'll never get because I will just continue with our same conversation as if nothing happened. :)

When someone ask “ How am I doing?” I will give a very honest and descriptive explanation.

People ask this just out of social norms and trying to be friendly. They always expect you to say “I’m good” or “I’m doing good” and vis versa, but I will be honest and descriptive to how am I actually doing that day. Throwing off the person.

Hello!! For my breaching experiment, I was thinking about not holding the door open for someone when they're close to the door that I would've just walked through. Usually when you go through a door and someone is behind you, the kind thing to do would be to keep it open for them. Breaking a norm of this nature is pretty harmless, and I would like to see the reactions of people who just got a door shut in their face.

Walk around with a backpack on your front like it’s a shield.

Sit in a weird spot – like on the floor instead of at the table, or on a chair backwards.

Clap your hands randomly during normal conversations

Walk very slowly or very fast through the house while doing normal tasks.

Use a funny accent or formal “royal” voice for all family interactions for a short time.

Eat with your non-dominant hand for everything, even if it’s awkward.

I would go to a grocery store and stand in line facing the person behind me instead of facing forward toward the cashier. People normally face the front and avoid direct interaction with strangers behind them. By turning around and facing the person behind me I would be breaking an unspoken social norm about what people do while waiting in public lines. I would observe how people react, such as if they seem confused, uncomfortable, avoid eye contact, or move away. This experiment would demonstrate how people rely on social norms to guide our everyday behavior and maintain a sense of order in public spaces.

1) Hug people while you're talking to them and release the hug after you're done talking, but then continue when its your turn to talk again.

2) Let out an obvious fake laugh during a serious conversation, then casually go back to being attentive to the conversation as if you didn't laugh at all.

3) Greet people with goodbyes and exit the conversation saying some form of hello

4)eat an ice cream cone, cone first. The ice cream would have to be in a bowl of course

5) Set up a lyft and then ask them for directions instead of getting in the car, once they arrive.

All of these i would only try on super close friends. In reality they would cause fights or be very rude.

.Do an obvious fake laugh after a serious conversation then go back to being completely attentive to that conversation as if you never laughed at all.

.Hug people while you're talking to them and only let go after you're done saying what you need to say.

.Eat an ice cream cone, cone first. The ice cream would have to be in a bowl of course.

.Greet people with goodbyes and leave them saying hello.

All of these are silly and would probably cause arguments or some form of discomfort if experimented with the wrong crowd. In would personally only test this on close friends or family members.

For my breaching experiment, I plan to greet random people on campus like I already know them. Usually when students walk around campus, they don’t talk to strangers and just mind their own business.

I will say things like “Hey, how are you?” or “What’s up?” to people walking by. This breaks the normal social rule because strangers usually don’t greet each other.

I want to see how people react. Some might say hi back, some might look confused, and others might ignore me. This will help show how people react when a normal social expectation is broken.

Well, a briching experiment idea I was thinking of doing was to wait for people to drive thru a certain place and wait till I see a new or old car I really like. And tell the person that I like their car. And see what the person says. Well, the reason is because I like new and old cars. I like some cars that are old due to their style and not because of the brand or value of it. But of course, my favorite car is the Lamborghini. I also like the Ferrari. But most likely if I tell a person that I like their car, Well I say 90 percent will say thanks or thank you.

A social norm for people who drink coffee or any drink really is to have a reusable or disposable cup in their hands. I don't think it is very "normal" for someone to go out and about drinking something from a mug or a glass cup that you would normally find and drink from in your home. If anyone would like to join we could just pretending to shop around but holding a mug or home cup in your hands and seeing if anyone notices or gives funny looks? How would people react? Would they even notice? -Janine s.
