Campus Derive/Intervention
1. Group Members-Jason, Scott, Katerina
2. For the intervention we made signs that said “Door under maitenance: Please use other door” and “This door is not closed”(with the “not” done in much smaller font). We put the signs on the CFA doors except on 1 door. One 1 set of double doors we put the please use other door sign with the arrows on the sign facing eachother. The objective of the intervention was to see how people would react to the signs. Whether they would read what it said or ignore them completely.
3. We 1st tried to do this with the doors in the SU but a staff person came out and told us to take down the signs because we’re not allowed to put up stuff like that. Some people broke the rules by reading the signs but walking through the doors that said “please use other door” anyways.
4. I was kinda surprised that more people didn’t ignore the signs.
5. Majority of people avoided the doors with the signs complelety and went through the door without a sign.
6. I think it would have been more effective is this was done with the SU doors or during a time when more people we going in and out. Also might have worked better if the signs we put up were a bit more offical looking, maybe if they had the UB logo.
7. The signs got attention from people because there usually isn’t anything on those doors and a few people were amused by it. There was also one guy who was coming from the right and walked all the way to the farleft door without the sign even though going through the right doors would have been more conveinant for him.
