3. Homework: Read p. 17-24 (take notes), Exercises 2-2 to 2-4.
4. Field Research Mini-Project: **Choose your group and hypothesis by Wednesday this week.**
Generate a hypothesis about the situations in which people offer help. Do men help more often than women? Are individuals more likely to help than people in groups? 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...**
