We have lots of synergy now
Thursday April 30 we went out on the cabrillo campus and tripped to see if people would respond and help or ask if we were ok. This was a success.
The experiments that we actulaly did were dropping papers dowtown over spring break. John D looked at the difference between male and female treatment. It was a success. More people help females that males.
Natalie and Briana have not been absent all semester long. Leticia was absent on April 28 and May 14. John and Catrina were absent on April 7.

Dummy Smackdown

Expirement: Put a dummy in a back alley on a busy street, someone be on top of the dummy punching it in the face. See if anyone tries to help, or if diffusion of resposibility takes place.

Hand Shaking

Social Norm Expirement: Walking towards people and shaking their hands and introducing yourself, see if they will greet you back.

Where is my mommy?

Expirement: Leave a kid repeating "where is my mommy?" in a busy part of town. See if diffusion of responsibility takes place.

I refuse to believe its not butter

Chris has left the group, due to other classes. Our new group consists of Briana, Leticia, Natalie, Catrina and Jon. We are discussing social expirements. We were originally doing a social norm video, but now I think we are doing an expirement. We are looking into acting like we are drunk and getting into a car to see if people will try to stop us. We also would like to drop items and see if people would stop to help. We would like to see if individuals in a group would help vs. individuals by themselves.
