The Ten-minute stand is a social experiment dedicated to observing the interactions of nearby people with not only each other, but the person conducting the ten minute stand. The experiment is simple enough: stand in one place for ten minutes and watch and listen (without talking) to passerby as they go about their daily activities. Because we are college students ourselves, we chose to observe other students in busy areas around The University of Texas’ campus to see how students interact with each other on their way to class. We stood in three different areas at three different times of day in order to compare the people in each of our experiments. While one of us was doing the ten-minute stand, the other two would observe from a nearby table or chair to make observations. For our experiment, we specifically chose not to take on a certain role because our main goal of the experiment was to observe the roles that students in the area assigned to us.
