The Psychology Video Collection Showcasing The Very Best Psychology Videos Available Online

This video was central to the methodological design of "An Experimental Study of Apparent Behavior" by Fritz Heider & Marianne Simmel which was a landmark study in the field of interpersonal perception, in particular in relation to the attribution process when making judgments of others.

If you would like to read this classic study in full, you can do so via the following link. However, before doing so have a think about what is going on in the video? Try telling the story of the video in a few sentences and try to answer the following questions.

1. What kind of a person is the big triangle?

2. What kind of a person is the little triangle?

3. What kind of a person is the circle (disc)?

4. Why did the two triangles fight?

5. Why did the circle go into the house?

6. In one part of the movie the big triangle and the circle were in the house together. What did the big triangle do then? Why?

7. What did the circle do when it was in the house with the big triangle? Why?

8. In one part of the movie the big triangle was shut up in the house and tried to get out. What did the little triangle and the circle do then?

9. Why did the big triangle break the house?

By doing this it will allow you to fully appreciate the thinking behind the experiment as well as allowing you to compare your responses with the original sample of subjects from 1944!
