- To avoid observer bias, your group members should agree on an operational defintion of what helping behaviour actually is.
- Each group member should have a distinct role to play in the experiment (example: one or two should act as "droppers" - one male student, one female student, if doing the gender-based hypothesis. One student may be an observer, one student a recorder. Students who aren't "droppers" should keep their distance from the situation so as not to confound the experiment).
**Next week you will need to write up your findings formally (as a group). More on this later...**
