if you put on a hard hat too you probably could have evacuated a building
no
@@romainfrancq7330 you so could
It's rather the fear rather than the "respect" for authority that makes people act submissive
Lot of the time anyway.
Oh is it? But fear of what? If an authority has no power, and it hasn't when nobody obeys them, then what are they afraid of?
@teflontelefon authorities don't enact any consequences because they have no power. It's us who do this to us as we give them that power through our obedience.
the human mind likes to take short cuts. when have strong associations through experience that someone wearing hi-vis dressed in a professional manner, would more likely be just that and so in our mind it makes more sense to listen because we assume they know something we don't. someone dressed in everyday clothes give us a different impression and so we are likely to have less experience and therefore assumptions that they would be giving such orders and so we are more likely to question the instruction because it is out of the norm. Out the moment i am sure anyone who listened to the orders would then probably thinking about it more deeply and rationally and if it happened again probably not listen because we have experience now that it wasn't necessary. just in the moment our minds are being lazy and thinking professional = listen vs actually trying to think why we should listen
If I was your significant other I'd obey you to the max, You are the one that is in total control.
Everyday, I'd come home from work and the 1 st thing I do, is give you my phone...don't want any distractions, then I'd everything you want done, which must be done to your satisfaction. I'd do whatever you tell me to do with no back talk or arguing.
On the weekends, I'd do what you want me to do, Before I have my "Free time" ....IF you allow me to have free time!
I dont think it's obedience, so much as instant confusion....being busy & not wanting to get into a conflict in the CASE the person works for the town/Govt, etc.
Precisely. Everyone is overthinking it. We're all civilized people who just want to go about our day without causing trouble for ourselves or others - it's not appropriate to take this as evidence that we're blindly obedient.
@realrururu It's the same thing. It doesn't matter the reason for it. Just that it happens. It's important to realise because totalitarian states can be formed as a result of people doing what they're told in order to not cause disorder. Most North Koreans are probably brainwashed into thinking they're causing disorder if they question any of the propaganda forced upon them.
True, these small thints don't really matter my on-the-go self will just let it away and move on, but for some more advance we shall questions and seek reasoning
Haha you can test one’s obedience by their rank in school academic, exam scores
I saw the same confusion in the people who were ordered by the girl without the high-Vis jacket but they questioned her and argued instead of giving in like in the second scenario!
The orders here were really abstract though. You guys need to understand that the people who didn't listen to the girl without the jacket were basically told the same abstract rules as the other, but only listened to the one in the jacket. That's terrifying.
I realise now I should wear a hi-vis on my next date.
I think the scary part is that without even listening to what she's saying to questionize it, ppl do what she says immediately without finish listening to the whole sentence.
They move away as soon as she addresses them.
I think they believe she is a construction worker & quickly move aside in case they might get hurt or are in the way for measurements.
Ppl see a uniform, put 2+2 together & just do what they're being told
I was raised to obey without questioning. So were many others.
Yea. She deliver different sayng like order vs just talking.
I love this series of social experiment. Please make more!
It’s so silly. I remember at my grocery store job I went into work with my nice black button up shirt instead of polo because I didn’t own any polos and my supervisor got mad because apparently only managers were allowed to look nice. I explained to him that I needed my first paycheck before I could go out and buy a polo because I was honestly just that broke. The nice black button up shirt I had was one I’ve had before I went broke. But it’s silly how the ones at the bottom aren’t allowed to look nice just because of their status in the hierarchy.
That's not really the experiment but sounds like your supervisor was just a prat who needed a swift kick in the gonads
It seems people like to dominate or feel superior or that they like to differentiate from "lower" hierarchy, i think people like to feel better about themselves to stand out, even if it means elbowing themselves forward or walk over dead bodies to have it better than the rest.
You know i was watching an "old planet of the apes" clip, where they all wear costumes, interestingly enough, even though all of them were humans, the chimpanzees sat with the chimpanzees, gorillas with gorillas, orangutan with each other etc at the cantina for lunch.
They had still subconciusly divided themselves into groups, and had identified so much with their roles.
I see this at workplace too, ppl only intermixing with similar role, background, etc.
The smokers with smokers
Complainers with complainers lol
@@UniqueGeekFreakmaybe it's feelings of being inferior themselves that makes them put others down like that.
If they gave themselves validation they wouldn't need to be seeking it via putting others down ultimately being destructive for no useful reason
@@The_Questionaut well said, yes it seems that, insecurity & rivalry also plays a part, ppl thinking they will take over your territory even though you haven't made any advances, just ppl's fears & they try to hinder you from succeeding, to be ahead of you.
These ppl don't understand that there's enough for everyone, but they just want everything for themselves
Me watching this as homework rn for psychology....
I find this fascinating yet not surprising.
It’s mental fear that a consequence will happen due to authority uniform and authority usually upholding this image
This isn't so stupid if you grew up into normal clothes. For example, I worked at a call center for some time, and at some point the floor Walkers and leads were instructed to wear neon guard jackets for recognition.
I've paid attention, have you?
That's messed up, even for a call center. I think another thing that's similar to the jackets are the fancy titles they give themselves. For example when the title "plant manager," is replaced with something like "chief personell director." In fact one of my uncles said they started doing that at his workplace place so the welders started calling themselves metal fusion experts/technicians. Its sad how a tiny little bit of authority can go to someone's head. Don't even get me started on the face mask Nazi's.
The irony of this being from the BBC
what did you expect lmao,,,,
“There’s a more sinister side to this. Some people argue that unquestioning obedience to authority is the part of our nature that allows police states to flourish”. That’s aged well hasn’t it?
Hmmm
👏
Trust the Science! And the black-on-yellow directions ⚠️🚸
stupidity
I love that this video was made before COVID. You take pride in thinking for yourself yet y'all went full authoritarian on everybody
The study she was talking about is a case study I did in psychology and what is was, was there two roles; a student (actor) and a teacher (not an actor) the student had to memorize a list of words and of they got it wrong in any way they were electrocuted and the voltage went up every level as well as the difficulty level of the list of words and what they found is that at the end, 60% of people will kill someone simply because they are told to.
i believe that was Milgram's Obedience to Authority study
For Science! Trust the Experts!
Fear controls all...
It also cultures aggression
Fear controls cowards.
Some guys proved you can get in anywhere in high vis while carrying a tall ladder
I think I saw the same video. Makes me suspicious of anyone in a high viz vest.
6 out 10 PEOPLE WILL BLINDLY OBEY AN AUTHORITY FIGURE IN THEIR MIDST
If I was your significant other I'd obey you to the max, You are the one that is in total control.
Everyday, I'd come home from work and the 1 st thing I do, is give you my phone...don't want any distractions, then I'd everything you want done, which must be done to your satisfaction. I'd do whatever you tell me to do with no back talk or arguing.
On the weekends, I'd do what you want me to do, Before I have my "Free time" ....IF you allow me to have free time!
Assuming it's not out of my way, I'm more than happy to step to the side if someone asks me too, or do whatever within reason - but this decision is made with less hesitation with a high vis, it's just like, sure
"I can't pick them up, they're like 15KG, WTF!?!?
Yup an evil computer dork that thinks there is to many people on the planet put on a Doctors coat and told everyone to line up for a ..
That was an interesting experiment
I just don't care what others say so I walk through
Kingston!
Milgram showed us once and you guys showed it again!
Second guy thought he got racially profiled

Loool I’m watching this for psychology revision
Why did she tell her to lift the dog
If it's something that causes ME no trouble to do something a little bit different then I wouldn't bother expending any energy contesting it.
That's the attitude that allows dictators to thrive
Symbols truly run the world
If you searc about The “Unabomber” philosophy, you will understand that although we think we are free and we make our own decisions, a şot of the times we follow the directives of other people or society unconciously.
this is sooooo epic dudeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope that one day my dream will be made and I will meet all of u
This experiment is stupid. Nobody really obeyed you. They probably did what you asked them to do because they thought there might be some danger or other unpleasant things and that you meant well.
Obedience would be if you asked them to do some pushups or other things that are pure orders without any relevance to the current situation.
Test dosent work. Different people. Some are fighters some are not
This is ridiculous, of course people would assume that since she's wearing that, the orders she's giving out must be connected to road works and some such. People would naturally think someone whose job it is to take care of these things has a good reason to be telling them to do it. Since the dictionary definition of "obedience" is "submission to the restraint or command of authority", of course people would do that 'cause they assume she's an authority.
How obedient are you?
Do you know why you pay £157.50 for a TV licence?
Why do you think you need a TV licence?
I never pay it
A tv license? Man thats some next level stuff.
"give me your most authoritarian face"
*laughs*
well, that's not even very far fetched tbh
What she was asking wasn't unreasonable, just odd. That woman with the dogs refused to pick one up. There's a big difference between walking across a bridge and hurting yourself or others. This experiment is lacking.
love a bit of Bickman Et. al
Really interesting but I wish there was results to this social experiment :/ like how many out of how many actually listened to her while wearing the vest.
To determine how many actually are willing to obey to whatever the "authority " demands in this specific experiment.
We had a large scale experiment recently. When it comes to relatively small inconveniences, it's possible within days to program about 70% of the whole population to either confirm or stay out of the picture. Within weeks of persistent propaganda the confirmers will be evangalised to take on the police role themselves. Within months there's a 70% group that will take on big inconveniences affecting their mental health, and their children's mental health. Within the year they will line up to get an injection of a new and thus far unapproved technology that they do not understand but are told it will help them and the greater good. After years of evidence that all of the above was not a good idea, there's still a 70% group that will do it all again, if the test is successfully rebranded into a new scare.
someone with authority figure tells you, take the poke or you can work for the government or or company
Based on history and authoritarian (culture/traditions), people have conformed to the ways a public role model deems proper and correct. It is also up for discussion if individuals are starting to rely on the government too much and therefore don't partake in civil education. Can someone link a resource for the state that upholds rules? Statues and policies are different because they are not government and state regulated
Abstract rules? You mean like having to stand 2 metres apart from other people?
Ridiculous eh?
I like how grocery store and other retail employees took it upon themselves to enforce those rules. There's gotta be an important lesson in there somewhere.

thanks for sharing the subreddit
Haha love it!
We're not as free minded as we think we are
my dad crossed and got hit by a bus
This is not a good experiment i don't think
This, in a nutshell, is why Parish Councils exist.
You know perfect is a measure the arc,itect bearly resembles when out put is watts + red is running the world
When wearing the jacket, she represents some form of authority within the domain in which people are traveling. Society has measures in place to punish those who break the law and to be frank there too many laws to keep track of, most of these people weren't just blindly following silly orders they were avoiding a confrontation with someone whom they assumed knew something they didn't. If you go to a bar and they have a weird policy for what you have to do most people aren't going to outright refuse the policy they're just going to complain about it later.
Also bear in mind that during covid the mask craze was a good showcase of people who didn't "bow to authority" and when those people said "there's no scientific evidence to support that wearing a mask helps at all" society villianised them.
This experiment works better when asking people to do something immoral rather than just silly.
all this does is show us why workers have to wear uniform and why uniforms exist
where is the surprise? People (probably mostly in a hurry) listen to persons who seem to have authority and dont listen to People who probably dont have. I would also listen to a authority just because it is a Person who has (instead of a private Person) the right to give orders. if i am in a hurry and it is not an order with big disadvantages to me, I avoid any discussion and just obey not thinking much about the sense of the order.
omg Kingston
I might go and get me a vis jacket LOL😃 How sad that made the difference! wow....🙄
I'm the person that would stare at her then carry on doing what I was doing
isnt this in kingston
i feel like this could be considered "impersonation"
someone with actual authority
She has nothing to do
dumb af
Who's watching this after the controlavirus plandemic?🙋♀️
I can't pick them up they weigh 15kg lmao
2:45
Lol
haha
NYC
Ok,obedience to authority but this is experiment has gone to far, wearing a police like uniform is normal that people will be obedient to that authority. I think the lady should have worn any another costume for this experiment.
She wasn't wearing police uniform
Literally just a high-viz vest and a notepad 😂😂
😂❤
The fact that these days people just laugh at authority like police and teachers shows that obedience is lacking more and more
Having authority doesn’t make someone right
Being overly obedient is a stupid thing
Obedient ppl are the left hand of the devil. Obedient ppl put jews in camps. And sanction over a hundred thousand british citizens into abject poverty and subsequent suicide during the recession. The obedient can burn with their masters.
🎉
1:16, did she just told a black guy to walk on the friggin black line?, was that a little offensive, you think?
No, but you just made it so
@@DaFrancc yes she does
Hahaha your so cool
If you put on a hard hat too you probably could have evacuated a building
