  Breaching experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the field of social psychology, a breaching experiment is an experiment that seeks to examine peoples' reactions to violations of commonly accepted social rules or norms.
Breaching experiments are most commonly associated with ethnomethodology, in particular the work of Harold Garfinkel.
Often, breaching experiments are conducted on job or educational interviews, particularly of candidates for medical school admission.

For example, one breaching experiment required students to spend from fifteen minutes to an hour acting as boarders in their own homes (Garfinkel, 1967: 47-8).
Breaching experiments showed that bland expressions and reserved miens, to be seen in audiences confronting heinous events in the mass media, are misleading indicators of how people emotionally respond to interpersonal deviance.
Breaching of norms usually provokes negative emotions, but other studies show that interpersonal relationships are the primary medium for people to express positive emotions as well.

 A Physico-social Theory Of Weberian Ideal-types:
The Newtonian Deconstruction Of Classical Sociology
The breaching experiment, understood in these terms, in effect causes subject actions that either (1) affirm and sustain the continuity qua momentum of the total social system composed of subject and related ‘experimental apparatus’, or (2) reflect affective forces that cause some change in the total continuity qua momentum.
Garfinkel developed an experimental methodology called the ‘breaching experiment’, which is designed to determine the social actor’s perceived normality by exploring a social actor’s responses to the violation, or breaching, of various forms of perceived normality.
Breaching experiments thus provide a methodology at the microsocial level for establishing or refuting the proposed Newtonian basis for social action.

He called this "breaching experiments." According to Garfinkel, when conventions are broken down, we attempt to reconstruct a sense of order in our lives.
Breaching has many "faces." It involves observing how others try to reconstruct a sense of order in their social worlds, but it may also involves someone disrupting the sense of order by violating social expectations or social norms.

 Distinguished Scientific Award (1987)
His analysis of the social context of the experiment has elucidated the importance of demand characteristics in shaping experience and behavior, and helped alter the way in which both experimentalists and clinicians evaluate the reactions of subjects, clients, and patients.
He published an article on the social psychology of the psychological experiment, which for a number of years was among the most widely cited articles in psychology.
It is hardly surprising, therefore, that he is as much at home in the clinic as in the laboratory, in the courtroom as in the classroom, in the study of subjective experience as in the study of behavior.

            The breaching experiment starts with a commonly accepted social rule (sometimes called a norm), such as 'it is inconsiderate to litter- put your garbage in the trash can'.
  In the breaching experiment, at least one member of the group violates the rule, and the group observes how others react, and the 'breacher' reports on how he/she feels.
  The actual 'breaching' should be done at least once by every member of the group, and other members should observe the experiment, and take notes for subsequent analysis.

 Statement of Sen. Craig, Salmon Recovery on Snake/Columbia Rivers, Oct. 8, 1998   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In this regard, let me state for the record that I, like many Idahoans, was startled last week by the "spin" contained in some newspaper accounts about the recent release of a scientific report allegedly concluding that dam breaching was the only way to save salmon in the Columbia and Snake Rivers.
To now say that the science on salmon recovery is settled, is to expose either a great ignorance of the complex science associated with salmon recovery or a political bias in favor of the "experiment" of breaching dams.
In either case, considering the "tinder box" nature of the salmon debate in the Pacific Northwest, such a statement is destructive and irresponsible.
