Know the following experiments, what procedures were used, what the experiment found, and why it was importanti. Kurt Lewin: Study Leadership Style1. The power of leadership style. A man was put in charge of a group of young boys being instructed to follow a certain leadership style with them. The study found that the group with an Autocratic style leader worked the hardest, but only when the leader was watching. The boys were very aggressive and hostile, modeling miniature fascists. The Democratic leadership style inspired the most playfulness and creativity, including mutual affirmations. In the Liassez-faire style of leadership was the least effective in that the group did no work. The study showed that social situations dramatically impact individual behaviors.ii. S. Asch: Study of Conformity-line experiment1. Asch showed study participants a set of lines and asked which line was the same length as his example. Although the answer was seemingly obvious, many participants changed their answer when other members of the test group picked another line that was obviously incorrect-straying from their initial pick.iii. S. Milgram: Study of Obedience-shock experiment1. In this experiment Milgram instructed individuals to up the voltage of shocks administered to people taking a test when they answered the wrong question. Most people thought that the individuals would stop administering shocks after 150v, but most went all the way to 450v. The study showed that people are very obedient to orders given to them from an authority source and can do things that they never thought they would be capable of doing-specifically inflicting harm on others.iv. P. Zimbardo: Stanford Prison Experiment1. Subjects in the experiment were randomly given uniforms portraying them as either prisoners or guards. The experiment showed how easily people conform to social roles they are expected to play. The guards became controlling, aggressive, and cruel while the prisoners were submissive and cowering. Theexperiment was planned to go on for 14 days-but was stopped after only 6. Prisoners became extremely stress and anxiety ridden.v. Tom Moriarity: Bystander Apathy Experiment1. Strangers will only protect something when asked-only when a personal responsibility is established.vi. Ellen Langer: Expectations of visual performance in flight situation1. ROTC students were given standardized vision tests for an initial vision score. Half of the subjects were then given pilot uniforms and taken into a life like flight simulator. The simulator also had the same standardized vison test and the test groups were unknowingly asked to retake it while in simulation (letters on the sides of other planes)-the test group treated like pilots had a 40% increased score on the simulator vision test as compared to other ROTC students who were not treated like pilots and were told the simulator was broken had no change in vision test
