Science Social Experiment: Gender

We performed a science experiment depicting whether or not gender was a playing role in whether or not someone was inclined to help one another. The scenario we chose was dropping school books.

The results were about down the middle. The above clip is a few of the many, many attempts we made. Remember, there's always someone watching you NOT help too.

1:14 you can see her ass.

Good experiment xD

[jackharvest1]

@sachoslks Nah, I thought that too, but it's just crossed beltloops over a tan belt. ;D

I thiki its more about having the time to help someone rather than gender. those who got out of a lesson usually helped but those who seemed like they were on the way to something did not have time to help :)

[jackharvest1]

@Rospandan A valid point! But the old adage with 'the good Samaritan' informs us that there's more to it than the amount of time "available" to that person. Right?

[urinvisiblefriend]

you have to look at how it drops, people usually help if its more widely spread. But if it's contained, people usually just walk past, thinking you don't need help

1:14 whoa!

@urinvisiblefriend That's definitely true. Also depending on the traffic of the hallway, if someone drops something in a high traffic area, there's little chance someone will stop, because it would interrupt the flow and you'll have something equivalent to a car crash.

@urinvisiblefriend plus, ofcourse personality, if the guy, or girl is a complete and utter twat then... well, they wont help

[Iamoldenough92]

I would. I have. And I've been on the other end.

Haha... Happened to me in a line few years back when I first got into a college... my papers was everywhere and nobody don't give a damn. All of them were girls, I understand, A guy with a thick glasses and not good looking. They gave glance and just pretend to talk to each other.

Few minutes later, I was asked to move to the front, skipping those jerks.. I can't describe the feeling to yell " Aww Yea, &*%# you guys "

@jackharvest1 You would think, but there was an old study done where ministers were asked to give a lecture at a neighboring religious building that was a 10 minute walk away. They allowed 50% of ministers to leave with 20 minutes to spare and the other half with 5 minutes to spare. They planted a person in need along the way and only the ministers with time stopped to help. And the sermon they were to give was about being a good samaritan, fancy that.
