After selecting your social norm, find the appropriate situation that will allow you to break it. Pleaseconsider the following during this process:1) Be mindful of safety issues. The object of this assignment is NOT to put anyone at risk of beingharmed, either physically or psychologically. Choose your situation carefully. Do not disrupt thelives of strangers. For the more challenging or potentially disruptive norms, you may want tobreak them in situations involving family, friends, or close acquaintances.2) Immediately prior to, during, and after your "norm busting" encounter, try to avoid explaining toanyone why you are acting in such a peculiar way. It is much more challenging to break a socialnorm when you do not immediately explain to others why you have done so. (Feel free to explainyour behavior to the participants at a later time [e.g., the next day], though, if you wish to do so.)3) You are not allowed to have others (e.g., friends, family, etc.) who know about this assignmenthelp you break the norm; you must do so on your own. They can be present when you do it, butthey can’t know why you are doing it.
