Experiment 3a

• data gathered using a questionnaire with 141 college students.
• The questionnaire investigated whether 29 different scenarios, including the three original, were perceived as legitimate requests by either a young man, milkman or guard.
• The guard was not perceived as more legitimate than the other uniforms when giving the order. This suggests that participants did not think the experiment uniform made their request anymore legitimate.
• Some of the new scenarios were seen as more legitimate than others.
