Office Hours - Abnormal Psychology

[romanywitch]

Jenny sits in her office before opening Study Hall for the day. She's going through class papers and grading everything.



OOC: Psych didn't go up yesterday due to a sudden attack of Real Life. And since the final project is cumulative, I didn't want to just do a movie day for the class and not give you guys any feedback. So a class post will go up today instead. Sorry for the delay!

Jenny nods. "That's the basic point of the experiment. Though they actually discovered that only about one-third of the people out there are sheep in that kind of a situation. You could talk about other situations that involve conformity, or how you'd react in a situation like that and why. Do those work for you?"

Jack makes a face. "I actually learned in one of my other classes that I do kind of conform a bit too much... especially when it's an authority figure. So, yeah, maybe the situations-involving-conformity." Jack shifts in the chair. "I... uh, I also wanted to thank you for letting me do a different essay on the whole what-I-learned-from-being-psycho-for-a-day. Because if I'd had to do that, the paper would have come out something like, 'I learned how to hate and how it felt to want to kill' and I don't want to deal with any of that." Jack's voice shakes a bit. "It frightens me that I know what it feels like to hate that much, to want to hurt people that much."
