Marcus carried out research to investigate compliance with authority figures. He gave 30 participants two scenarios describing a person who asked them to pick up some litter. One scenario described the person wearing a security guard's uniform and the other scenario described the person wearing casual standard clothing. The participants had to decide whether they would comply with the request or ignore it.
The findings are shown in Table 1.
Table 1
| Person wearing a security uniform | Person wearing casual wear | |
|---|---|---|
| Total number of participants who would comply | 22 | 8 |
| Total number of participants who would ignore | 8 | 22 |
