Will women be more likely to help other women in need? (These are just some questions you might create a hypothesis from, feel free to come up with your own; run it by me first.)
- Get into groups of three or four. Over the next week, conduct a field experiment testing their hypothesis. The helping siituation might look like: one of your group members drops your book in front of someone (in front of an individual/group/male/female...depending on the hypothesis.
- Complete as many trials of your experiment as possible.
- 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...**
