FIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES

SR.NO	NAME OF THE RESEARCH INSTITUTION & LOCATION	TITLE OF THE STUDY	OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1	Military Medical Academy,St.Pittersburg,Russia	Pavlov’s Dog Experiment	This theory is also known as classical conditioning experiment and involves learning to associate an unconditioned stimulus that already brings about a particular response (i.e., a reflex) with a new (conditioned) stimulus, so that the new stimulus brings about the same response.
2	Conducted by Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris, Harvard University	Selective attention/Invisible Gorilla Effect	According to this study humans often overestimate their ability to effectively multi-task. What the study set out to prove is that when people are asked to attend to one task, they focus so strongly on that element that they may miss other important details.
3	Research conducted by Milgram, Yale	We can experience deeply conflicting Moral Impulses	This Study is describing how far people would go to obey authority figures when asked to harm others, and the intense internal conflict between personal morals and the obligation to obey authority figures.
4	Conducted by Jane Eliot, Iowa Class	A Class Divided	Jane Elliott’s famous experiment was inspired by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the inspirational life that he led. The Study is all about developing an exercise to help students understand the effects of racism and prejudice.
5	Conducted by Dr. Solman Asch, Swarthmore College	Asch Conformity Study	Dr. Solomon Asch conducted a groundbreaking study that was designed to evaluate a person’s likelihood to conform to a standard when there is pressure to do so.

According to me Asch Conformity Study is the most interesting study as it deals with a person’s likelihood to conform to a standards under Critical Conditions.

In my Opinion Poplov’s Dog Experiment is the Experiment that I least preferred and do not like to participate. Because This experiment experimented with animal(DOG) and deduce its results based on the Behavior displayed by the Dog.
