We often fail to acknowledge how our behaviour and actions are decided on the unsaid rules set by the society and people around us. Apart from these everyday norms, religion and faith have a very strong influence on why we do, what we do. We were tasked to study the behavioural nuances of people in a selected premise and further deep dive into identifying ‘irrational/deviant behaviour’ exhibited and further suggest strategies facilitate a positive behaviour change in the premise. As we decided to choose ‘The Church’ as our study’s premise, the ‘irrationality in behaviour’, emerged as a layered concept intertwined with beliefs, presumptions and sometimes even fear.

Through this project, we try to critically examine and make sense of macro and micro behaviours observed in a place where focus is needed to achieve the primary objective of being there; in this case, the place being a Church. The study would lead us to the cause of the behaviour that will give us the opportunity for behaviour change.The presence of authority, social conformity, and religious bias added to the complexity that comes with religious spaces, making sure we were always on our toes. But the behaviour observed in the setting can also be identified in other social settings. The insights from the study can be applied to all of those too.
