School Spirit
School Spirit is an emotional support for one’s educational institution. This can apply to any type of school Elementary schools and Universities. It can be manifested in the exhibition of school colors in dress and decoration, attendance of athletic events, Mascots or verbally in the form of chants or cheers. This definition of school spirit is closely associated with good sportsmanship among students and their families at sporting events and is loosely based upon encouraging each other.
Abstract
We developed a novel variation on a group data on school spirit using compliance, conformity, and obedience in a way to increase the school spirit here at Trinity Lutheran College. Using compliance to make the student want to wear their trinity gear such as, offering the student coffee or give a free souvenir only if they were there trinity gear the next day. We would then talk to 5 or 6 students who are not wearing Trinity gear. We would experiment with asking question do you have Trinity Gear. Why do you have Trinity Gear? If the student doesn’t have any Trinity gear why don’t they have any? We want to use ingratiation to make the student feel comfortable. Compliment the student on whatever the student is wearing, but persuade the student to wearing trinity gear. First in for most, you would ask if they have any Trinity gear, if the student says yes, then you would ask them to wear their Trinity gear the next day. According to the power point my group followed the tactics of ingratiation were you would use flattery and use positive nonverbal cues. We also used Tactics based on the commitment or consistency such as Foot-in-the-door, lowball procedure, Door-in-the-face, and that’s not all.
Methods
Participants
The current study of my experiment is to get Trinity students to show more school spirit and to wear their Trinity gear.
