"Duncan Principle"

The principle of Duncan is quite simple, the higher is the lost control by the Ego (reality principle) the greater the gain by personality Id (unorganized parts of the personality) resulting in a surprising and predictable emotional eruption, or point of collapse. Also known by Mummy and Papa as explosion of ANGER!

So if you watch "Community" you know that the Duncan Principle (which consisted of leaving test subjects in a waiting room until they broke down) was debunked by one of the volunteers.

However, I am here to confirm the validity of the Duncan Principle from first hand experience.

This is a clip from the show Community. The episode is actually called Social Psychology. In this episode/clip, the experiment was about leaving test subjects waiting (for the experiment to start) in a room until they broke down. One guy managed to wait until they told him he had to leave. (26 hours) which apparently messed up Professor Duncan's experiment. although Duncan principle here is not scientifically valid, i believe would be interesting to see the results, that im my opinion should be pretty much like the one´s "found" in the staged experiment, anyway it would surely interesting to observe and test participants pacient.
