Breaching experiment

Okay, kiddo, have you ever played the game 'Simon Says'? The game is all about following the instructions of a leader. But have you ever played the game where you do the opposite of what Simon says? That's kind of like a breaching experiment.

In a breaching experiment, a person intentionally breaks a social norm to see how people react. A social norm is like an unwritten rule that people follow to be a part of a group. For example, it's a social norm to shake hands when you meet someone for the first time.

So if someone wants to do a breaching experiment, they might go around not shaking people's hands when they meet them. They'll watch how people react to not following the norm. Some people might get confused, some might get angry, and some might just laugh it off.

The point of a breaching experiment is to learn about social norms and how people react to breaking them. It can help us understand how we behave in certain situations and how we can change our behavior if needed. It's like being a detective and gathering information about how people act in different scenarios.
