Default psychology help

for my psychology class we are doing a video project kind of like candid camera and i need ideas from you guys. this board always seems to be there to help people and i need help.

some ideas about what i could use in the video is how people conform to certain ideas, or how if i give them slightly misleading questions i can shape their answers. or how if i start with something small i could then continue to lead them to bigger lies or bigger things they normally wouldn't do if the big thing was asked first (foot in the door phenomenon).

so, i just need ideas guys! go!

look into the Milgram expirement and better yet the Asch conformity experiment. not sure if thats what you're looking for, but hope it helps.

it's the right idea, but those have already been done and our teacher is wanting to see something more original but shows man of the same concepts

some concepts are:

foot in the door phenomenon
conformity
deindividuation
diffusion of responsibility
obedience to authority

stuff like that.
