In reviewing the article 10 Psychological Studies that Will Change What You Think You Know About Yourself (written by Gregoire), I found interesting the 1989 study from Harvard and Kent State University on “change blindness” (as cited by Gregoire). In this experiment the subjects started out talking to one actor. Their view is blocked from the person to whom they are speaking, and another actor steps in to finish the conversation to see if the change is observed by the participant. One half of the people studied did not notice the change (as cited by Gregoire).
One just could not help asking “How could you not notice?! Why does this happen? How can we be more observant?” Researching topics such as this may help to answer questions such as: …show more content…
This is supported by the 1959 experiment by Leon Festinger
8) Everyone is judgmental. An example of this is seen in the NYU study by John Bargh
These are basically things I already believed, and the studies just substantiated and solidified my own views.
Some of the questions I asked myself about the NYU study by John Bargh, the 1971 Stanford Prison Study by Zimbardo, the 1961 Yale study by Stanley Milgram, and the 2003 study by Dacher Keltner: How can I work on myself to root out these tendencies that would cause me to abuse power or judge others? Concerning the 1998 Harvard and Kent State university study: How can I be more accurate in my observations? Considering the 1959 experiment by Leon Festinger: How can I learn to accept that sometimes things don’t make sense? Regarding the 1960’s Stanford preschool children study: How can I delay gratification so as to be more successful? About the 1950’s experiment by Muzafer Sherif: How can I work on problem solving socially?
I would like to learn more about the 1950’s experiment by Muzafer Sherif. Firstly because I could personally benefit from learning better social skills and problem solving techniques. I would like to learn how to handle challenges in instructing my children. Applications in the work place would be helping departments work together through bonding and team building
