Stringer & Cassiday's A Jolt of Reality is an activity that examines how assumptions and behaviors are influenced by cultural values.

This Thiagi "Jolt" can be found a in his book Jolts! Brief activities to explore diversity and inclusion (pp. 72-75) and is not the same as the Thiagi "Jolt" called "Mingle" which can be found at http://thiagi.net/PAC/pacGameBooklet.pdf

Thiagi's jolt, Exclusion, asks participants to describe their emotions of exclusion and inclusion in a team scenario.

This Thiagi jolt asks participants to role play to better understand the impact of distractions and self-talk. 

According to Thiagarajan and van den Bergh (2017), in this 'jolt' "team members anonymously vote out a colleague to reduce the size of the team.  The debriefing discussion deals with the emotional consequences."

Redundancia: A Foreign Language Simulation invites participants to experience the difficulty of choosing parts of speech, thinking of syntax, working through vocabulary in an unfamiliar verbal context.  Although Redundancia must be purchased, Talk-Speak--a Thiagi 'Jolt'--and Piglish provide the same experience at no cost. Both are linked above. 

As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. "Illustrate how we filter information and form assumptions based on experience and cultural values. 2. Encourage participants to reexamine their assumptions and to avoid automatic (knee-jerk) reactions. 3. Demonstrate how our behaviors (action/reaction) are often influenced by cultural values or filters" (Stringer & Cassiday, 2003, p. 5). …
