Social Psychology: Personal Space and the Bystander Effect

[koolman280]

And as far as the bystander effect, its not like she was on crutches and fell down or something, if I dropped my papers, I wouldn't want anyone to rush to my aid and make a big scene out of it, i'd just want to pick them up and be on my own way. People might be more inclined to help if it looks like the subject actually NEEDS help, like getting back on a wheelchair if they fell off, you know people would FLOOD to help someone in THAT kind of distress, not dropped papers.

at 1:00 how do you know the dude just didn't want to be seen walking with her because it would give the impression that they are in a relationship? and honestly I wouldn't want that impression anyway.

Looks like "koolman280" is too "kool" for my psychology project. Who cares. This was just a little fun psychology project, not ment to yield actual life-changing data, it was just to test other theories or observations from others, and HAVE FUN.

@fiestajane yes, how primitive, trading intellectual findings or a little neurochemicals in the brain. It's an insult to psychology to say this is a "psychology project"...no, this is two chicks with a camera, and one being so obvious about following the other person. The point in any real experiment is to be subtle...which you failed horribly at.
