Sociology experiment

This Sociology experiment is conducted by students of The George Washington University in the US. Basically it's about how people react when a stranger walks right next to them.

Imagine walking on the street all by yourself and suddenly a stranger starts to walk right beside you and wouldnt leave; what would you react? According to this experiment, most people has the similar reaction; at first, they didnt notice there's someone near them but when they gradually find out, some of them confront the guy, some just stared at him, some are angry and some are scared. Although different people have different reaction towards the weird action from a stranger, but their reaction in common is they wouldnt just ignore the stranger.
