For example, you might wear very non-normative clothes to class or dinner. You might eat your meal in front of people while standing, or while singing. You might greet people or return others’ greetings in a very unusual way. You might argue a point with other people, all of whom disagree with your point. Try to be creative, but be sure to do this in a way that is safe and that won’t get you into trouble (for example, disrupting a class, breaking a mandate or a law, or saying hateful or prejudiced things would definitely be a bad idea). Please summarize your experience by providing the following information. Just before you violate the norm, record your thoughts about your expectations, emotions, etc. As soon as you can after you have violated the norm, record how you felt as you were doing so and soon after. What were other people’s reactions? Did you feel a great pressure to stop doing what you were doing, or did it feel fun or liberating? Why do you think you felt this way?
