Small group dynamics experiments

We have conducted a series of experiments considering 5 communities of 10 different subjects in interaction for 45 minutes. The subjects did not know each other and a "neutral" and randomly assigned nickname were associated by the system to each of them.Before the experiments all subjects were instructed in the same way and underwent the same training on the system. The instructions was simply to freely interact with others, structuring within the end of the experiment a representation of the perceived "affinity" with others using the private radar tool.

In the Topic Modality 5 communities of 10 different subjects in interaction for 45 minutes have been tested priming their interaction with a specific Topic. Before the experiments all subjects were instructed in the same way and underwent the same training on the system. Instructions asked the subject to participate in a role playing game where they composed an Ethic Committee and where they had to reform the Law that control the "animal research".The instructions was to interact with others gathering the main instances about animal research, structuring within the end of the experiment a representation of the perceived "affinity" with others using the private radar tool.
