Hi =)
Today was a tired day for me! =@
1st i have to rush to school to present my final idea to the class which i was too nervous about as i didn't have much time to clam down before our presentation which i end up badly T.T~

2nd is i have to rush against time to go from my school to tpy then to orchard for my social experiment because i don't know what bus to take to go orchard..... I grab my lunch along the way, found a place to sit and stuff them into my mouth.... The rich people around me all look at me as if i'm an alien lol~ -_-l!

Now for the fun part!
Let me explain what is our plan to test for people's reaction!
Have a boy or a girl drop a pile of paper in front a person or a group and see who receive more help from the crowd the boy or the girl. This test is to see the gender and culture, schema and physical appearance.

And the experiment began!
The 1st try of a girl dropping the pile of paper in front of a lady! No one came to help because we were too obvious everyone could see that we were filming with a camera on hand. Then we came up with a different plan! Use hand phone to take the video! =D But our action of dropping the paper was not very convicting and it fail ~.~ After some try and error! Tada our act finally look convicting and is ready for take off!

The 1st try of a boy dropping the pile of paper in front of a lady! The person just look at the paper then look up again and walk in another direction like nothing happen =@ So cruel then he came back looking disappointed xD

The 2nd try of a boy dropping the pile of paper in front of a lady! A kind lady help her pick up the paper and return it to her with a smile! =D Then it's our job to run to that lady and ask if she would allow us to interview her! And yes she agreed too! =) (Cause some of the people don't want to be interview and would just rush off after helping)

1st qns: Why did you help out friend?
Ans: I just help her. (schema: auto reaction)
2nd qns: Would you help her if someone else is helping too?
Ans: yes, i would still help her to set an example to other. (culture)
3rd qns: Would it take you very long to help?
Ans: No.
And the experiment goes on~
Of Course we got interview those who didn't help la XD
Haha~ Let me give you 1 of the sample~
1st qns: Why did you hesitate to help?
Ans: I'm wearing a tight jean if i bend down i'm afraid i would expose myself.
2nd qns: Have you thought of helping my friend?
Ans: Yes, i would help if i'm not wearing the jean and normally i would help as i'm spontaneous.

During the experiment we really seen a pitch of human natural! People tend to help out a girl more often then a guy~ Most people are helpful when they see a helpless person in need!( Yea Singaporean is not as cold-hearten as we thought! =) )Of course sometime people would just walk away like nothing happen.

There were some rare case too! =O A girl drop in front a group of boys but only one help the girl while the rest of his friend stood by and chat between each other. They waited for their friend to finish helping and continue to walk as a group like nothing had happen =o(How come his friend didn't help too! but we didn't interview them so can't find out the answer T.T)

And that's a pitch of what happen today =)
Ask me if u want to know more ;)
Bye bye
