How does segregation affect the behavior of those involved in a school environment? With peers pressuring, and intimidating them.

How does segregation affect the behavior of those involved in a school environment? With peers pressuring, and intimidating them.

Introduction Introduction

I can not fathom the amount of stress in what the African Americans felt in not having an equal amount in voice, in the 1860’s. Now in the 21st century, having slaves is illegal in the United States. That does not mean that segregation doesn’t still continue in school or in sports. Maybe this observation will help me and other people know how people react to being treated unfairly.

“Social psychology looks at a wide range of social topics, including group behavior, social perception,leadership, nonverbal behavior, conformity, aggression and prejudice. It is important to note that social psychology is not just about looking at social influences. Social perception and social interaction are also vital to understanding social behavior.” (Dr. George Stullin)

Hypothesis:Hypothesis:I predict that all of the students

will some how be affected by this experiment. They will show some type of reaction to the segregation being inflicted. I predict that the more out going types of people will react more dramatically then others.

Possible Causes of Error Possible Causes of Error

Some students could suspect something and not give an honest opinion

I didn’t take each student into a room but gave them one in a class there could be peer pressure on some of the answers

I caught two boys asking what they put so that could be a cause of error

Possible ApplicationsPossible Applications

Knowing how this testing went, now we know that the way kids think is based off of people around them and the way they are treated.

Watching our actions around people in not showing favorites like Mr. Bauerle obviously showing his favorites in front of the class

The way mentors act around adolescents affect the way they will act and respond
