In fact I think there are three, now one on perceived obligation, one on using someones first name and a third on eye contact. I am looking for some more ideas to try on my own. A google serach to try to find some more yielded zero but perhaps I am using the wrong key words. If you have a list of these little experiments with descriptions or keywords that would help me find them, it would be very much appreciated. I tried an interesting one recently where I waved to people on the street while driving by or waved to them when I was walking the they were driving by. The results were very similar... most people did wave back and the exchange ended with a strange "do I know that guy"? look. Its been fun. No redeeming purpose or influence gained just a fun exercise to see what happens when you do something socially acceptable out of context. Thank you for your help.
