Deviance Social Experiment

Group Members : Makayla, Tatiana, Rafi, Zach, Jazmarie, Andreas

Objective of Social Experiment: Tatiana and I were curious how others would react if we would have an yoga session in a public place such as Mission Valley, and Horton Plaza Mall. This is considered deviant because the mall is not a place where people come and witness random people doing yoga out in the open. Jazmarie's part was to the be the teacher of the Yoga Class who lead the class and offered others to join. Zach acted as a complete stranger who joined our yoga session to perhaps get others to join it as well. Rafi played the role as an onlooker who disagreed with what we did and watched as entertainment like most of the people who stopped to watch us did. Andreas was in charge of getting the footage of those who stopped and looked at us and their reactions.

Result: During the Social experiment many people who entered the mall did stop and watch while Tatiana and I, did yoga, while others shook their head of disaprovement. No one wanted to join the yoga session when asked most likely because they did not want to be apart of something that attracted alot of attention and was considered "out of the norm".
