search for a key. Ask them to leave the room.

Tell the remaining participants about the process and
their roles at each stage of the exercise:
Silent Feedback: when Volunteer number 1 enters the
room, the participants are to remain completely silent
and motionless.
Negative Feedback: when Volunteer number 2 enters
the room, all participants should give negative feedback,
no matter how close or far away the searcher is from the
key. Be sensitive to your group, but instruct them to give
the kind of negative feedback that they might hear back
in when someone is dissatisfied with their performance.
Participants should NOT respond to any requests for
direction or assistance.
Positive but General Feedback: when Volunteer number
3 enters the room, all participants should give positive
but non-specific feedback (e.g., "good boy" "way to go,"
"I really like how you get after it," etc.), no matter how
close or far away the searcher is from the key.
Participants should NOT respond to any requests for
direction or assistance.
Specific Feedback: when Volunteer number 4 enters the
room, participants should provide specific hints and
suggestions for finding the key, without giving it away.
They should respond to yes/no questions.

*Note that some individuals get upset with the negative
feedback, even though it is a simulation.
Hide the key. Invite the participants in one at a time.
Each volunteer receives the prescribed feedback noted
above.

Silent: Hide the key in a not-too-difficult location within
the room. Allow 2 minutes for the search.
Negative: choose a more difficult spot. Allow 2 minutes
for the search.
Positive but general: choose a more difficult spot. Allow
2 minutes for the search.
Specific: choose a more difficult spot. Allow 2 minutes
for the search.
