The only person to notice my odd behavior and say something about it was the person who I was walking pace for pace next to. Lastly, in class we talked about different cultures and settings affecting our behavior. In the campus center, I did not get questioned by anyone when I walked pace for pace next to them. The reason is because the campus center is generally busy and there’s a lot of foot traffic, so walking next to people for long periods of time is normal. However, when the setting is changed to a quiet area, like the library when class is in session, a lot of foot traffic isn’t normal, and therefore, walking next to people for long periods of time is seen as a strange behavior. All in all, this experiment was interesting to conduct and it really shows how straying from the norm will cause people to automatically question and judge you as a person based on your behaviors.
