muffin

An arrangement of muffins was put out on a table in a crowded room. We decided that the students in the room would become our subjects. Many of the subjects were unsure if the muffins were for them, and too afraid to take one. Therefore, no muffins we taken from the plate.

 

 

                                                       After we sent another accomplice to take a muffin, people were no longer afraid to take and within minutes all the muffins were gone.

After a few minutes, we sent an accomplice, or an example, to take a muffin. People were still hesitant and afraid to take a muffin.
