So what we're gonna do, is walk out of a supermarket with bags and bags of stuff...someone is gonna drop everything by accident (eg oranges, so they'll roll away) and we have to record how many people offer to help them
Then we repeat that experiment 5 times, and add a bystander each time. The larger the number of bystanders, the less likely others will offer to help...cos if there's more people, others will assume someone else will help and not do anything :)
I REALLY wanna film it LOL, I proposed that Leah should do it cos she's lanky and clumsy looking...except she probably won't keep a straight face so we'll see :P

yeah, diffusion of responsibility!
that's a nice and easy to measure variable.
it would also be interesting (maybe for future consideration) to do one where you look at the number of people who respond to a guy, vs the # who respond to a woman.
and again, i know this sounds silly but it's true: take an average or unattractive looking person, and compare that response to a gorgeous person. most likely a woman.
good luckkk!
