This demonstration illustrates principles of group dynamics and dynamic social impact and can be used in classes in social psychology or group dynamics. Students discuss their answers to multiple-choice questions with neighbors and answer them again. Discussion consistently leads to the consolidation (reduced diversity), clustering (spatial-self-organization), correlation (emergent linkages), and continuing diversity of responses. “Truth” does not necessarily win, showing that the social reality of the group may be more important than objective reality.
