The Fabulous Social Experiment during Lunch of Week 1

T-Posing on the stairs of Brodhead

During the 1st week of TIP, Calvin and admin allowed Social Psych to do mini-social experiments on everyone(aka annoying everyone). The experiments were a huge success, but it may have cemented our reputation of being the "weird ones from social psych".

List of experiments include:

  • T-posing on the stairs
  • Asking someone for help only to take them on a trip around Brodhead and not actually needing the help
  • Randomly walking up in between people
  • Shushing people and making them look at a random object
  • Weird high fives
  • Making Katie into a queen, Jack and Colby the throne, and everyone else as loyal subjects.
  • Standing too-close-for-comfort next to people

Ninja

Ninja is a regular game at TIP, but Term 1 of 2018 of Social Psych played this during any available breaks. The winner will be in the winner's circle and is listed below.

"The Effect of Material Consequences on the Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma"

Social Psych created a more official social experiment revolving around the Prisoner's Dilemma and this experiment was more of a success than anyone anticipated. 110 TIPsters from 7 classes participated in this study (around half of Duke West) and the data produced some interesting results on how TIPsters make choices upon the relationship between their fellow classmates. The experiment went so well that it garnered some attention from admin and Social Psych was able to share a final presentation of the results on the last day.
