Deviant Field Observation Examples

426 Words2 Pages

Our deviant field observation act was playing cards in the middle of a shopping aisle in a big store. This is deviant due to the violation of social expectations of what to do in a normal grocery store. Trent and I both played the classic game of “Go fish” sitting across from each other horizontally so it blocked the aisle and made the situation uncomfortable for anyone wanting to go down the aisle. Our hypothesis was that everyone would be extremely uncomfortable and would most likely turn away and not say anything. We first started our act of deviance in the toy aisle with Trent’s little brother filming the experiment. After about a minute of playing we had a lady that came down the aisle perusing the toys for her children. As soon as she

  • Summary Of Malcolm Gladwell The Power Of Context

    These actions taken by the city officials helped with reducing the occurrence of major crimes, including rape and murder. With the power of context theory however, Gladwell discusses the environmental and situational factors that affect the behavior of others. He refers back to the subway shooting with Goetz, and two historical examples of the Stanford Prison experiment, which involved fake guards brutally abusing fake prisoners, and the Hartshorne/May experiment, which proved students were likely to not cheat due to varying factors, as examples of how the environment one is surrounded in can influence the decisions they make (Gladwell). This theory of Gladwell’s that environmental stimuli can easily trigger the human brain to react and make decisions that contradict how one normally perceives a situation, can be used as an analytical tool to define and explain the actions and decisions of

  • Loiters Squad Video Analysis

    221 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the video I choose to do the assignment on was from one of my favorite television show called “loiters squad” in the video the cast members do this thing called “lurking”. Basically what you do when you’re lurking at someone is to completely be a total creep to a stranger and make them feel awkward and uncomfortable as possible without alerting them. The video reminded me of fieldwork observations that we talked about earlier this semester, (where the researcher participates in the research setting while observing what is happening in that setting) (Henslin 28) in the video the actors are doing micro-level symbolic interactionalist type of deviance like staring at a person, getting awkwardly close to another person. I say that its deviant

  • Philip Zimbardo: The Lucifer Effect

    1254 Words  | 6 Pages

    Situational effects and personality come into conflict when discussing behavior. Personality is someone’s “usual pattern of behavior, feelings, and thoughts” (Twenge, 2017, p.20). It remains constant throughout different situations, but some situations can be stressful enough to make a person act out of character. The transition between a person’s normal personality and behavior to a more evil, sinister behavior fascinates a man named Philip Zimbardo, who conducted the infamous Zimbardo Prison Experiment, or Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE). Zimbardo is an American psychologist at Stanford University and the mastermind behind the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment (The Story).

    It likewise disproves the theory of prison guard’s aggression stemming from dispositions. This experiment demonstrations another important finding which is that people will conform to a new social role fairly quickly, particularly one that has a strong label associated with it. The Zimbardo study showed us that people tend to lose their self-awareness in a group of people by becoming so immersed into the norms of the group that they lost touch with themselves. In Stanley Milgram’s famous “shock study” he put out an advertisement in the newspaper looking for men to participate in his experiment at Yale university. He was originally looking for males between the ages of 20 and 50 years old.

While crime is defined as: “recognized violation of society’s formally enacted criminal law” (2013, pg.464).
