Pick a situation, choose what behavior you want people to conform to, what are your expectations? 2. Do your observation/experiment! Make sure to describe the scene in your paper. What do people do when you deviate? Do they conform? How did people respond? 3. Analyze your observation/experiment. What happened? Was it what you expected?
