change something about yourself that will activate different schema in other people

Overview

For a day, or at least several hours, change something about yourself that will activate

different schema in other people with whom you interact. For example, you might dress

differently, talk differently, or put yourself in a situation where a trait normally of little salience about yourself takes on much greater salience. Compare and contrast the way people respond to you during the exercise with how people respond to you doing the very same thing in your usual situations. Apply social psychology concepts like schema. Consider the experience from your perspective and from the perspective of those with whom you interact.
